I just saw this comment flag in the mod queue:

enter image description here

Note the red background styling and the lack of a delete button.

Turns out that it's a comment on this post which was deleted yesterday.

This may just be a flag that got accidentally unhandled, but it could also be a more serious bug.

It's an issue in the new flag backfill code - certain flags that should have been marked as handled weren't.

Fixing now.

  • Interestingly, I'm able to edit it. (which means that I can edit any deleted comment via AJAX). Doubt that that is a problem though. Editing it temporary dismisses it, but it springs back up on refresh. Jun 25, 2013 at 23:56
  • @Manishearth: Why would you edit a deleted comment, though? It can’t be brought back, can it?

  • @minitechη I wouldn't. Which is why I said that it wasn't a problem. Also, comment undeletion is status-planned Jun 26, 2013 at 0:10
