Unedited comments get marked as edited on "submission," despite no changes

  1. Post a comment
  2. Begin editing that comment
  3. Press the pencil-icon "submit" button without actually having edited anything

Expected outcome: nothing happens to the comment
Current outcome: the comment gets a pencil mark

I don't remember how I ended up doing step 3 (I think I meant to edit yet accidentally hit the "submit" button), but that was my observation of this fringe issue, anyway.

  • Hey! I just wanted to chime in here and mention that this seems to be a Lemmy issue. I was able to reproduce this on lemmy.world by following your exact set of steps (create a comment, edit it, don't change anything, save it). Lemmy marks the comment as edited.

    In Thunder, we just retrieve the edited state from Lemmy, so I'm not sure we can do anything about this case, but you might want to submit a bug report here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy
