How to show comments for an unpublished node this is my problem, 


A node is in unpublished state
The "View own unpublished content" permission is set
The node author posted a comment on the node, but the comment is not getting rendered in the node page
The super admin user though can see the comment.


Is this normal in Drupal 7? If so, how can I make those comments visible for the node author?

Hope I can explain my problem, thanks...
I vaguely remember I had once an issue with viewing unpublished content and the view_unpublished module offered me a better granularity that solved my issue. 

Otherwise I would say creating a view showing comments in relation with the node, using a contextual filter nid, and without the filter "content: published" might help.
