Try changing:

    <b>[scratch new_support_comments]</b>

...to:

    <b>![scratch new_support_comments]!</b>

...and the same for the [value] - just as a test.

You may be able to see if there's any leading/trailing white-space.
If not then do a "view source" in your browser and check in there.

If the [value] has leading/trailing white-space then you can use the
filter="strip" arg to clear it.  If the [scratch] has white-space
then you can use the [filter] tag with op="strip".
