As far as I remember (and It's possible to retract and re-cast a delete vote on answers, contrary to the tooltip's advice confirms this) there used to be a warning/question whether to retract delete votes.

But it seems it was removed in the past month or so. On Politics and Skeptics I accidentally retracted my delete votes to various terrible Qs because I clicked on the thing twice... and I can't recast a delete vote apparently.

Was this UI "improvement" intended?

  • If it makes any diff, using Google Chrome "103.0.5060.134 (Official Build) (64-bit)".

  • If it's of any help, the most recent place where it happened to me is on politics.stackexchange.com/questions/74369/… (There's one pending delete vote, but that's not mine.)

    Can you try closing and reopening Chrome? Also, see if you get other dialogs (click the "Add Another Answer" button on a question you already answered and it should ask you if you're sure you want to start writing another answer).

  • @Laurel: the dialog for close votes works fine. And yeah restarting Chorme fixed the delete dialog on Skeptics. I cannot find a suitable Q to re-experiment on politics right now.

    There's a claim it was fixed: meta.stackexchange.com/a/371279/282094 and that the two dialogs are very similar: meta.stackexchange.com/q/371331/282094

    @Rob it was never fixed because there was never a bug.

The suggestion (in comments) to restart Chrome fixed it for me, meaning the dialog comes up now.
