I edited an answer and suggested a small change that was greatly improving the post. This suggestion got rejected. When I looked into the revision history I noticed a strange behavior.

The edit I suggested was made under someone else's username - apparently the one who reviewed and improved my suggestion. So far everything seems fine: (Revision linkRevision link)

Of course the difference here is too minor to be approved. But what is displayed here was not my suggestion! (That suggestion can be seen in the revision 2 in the image above)

So what happened here? Was this due some strange timing issued in improving and approving my suggestion without marking it as helpful?
