According to this other question, we should get a confirmation pop up when trying to delete comments from within the android app.

However, I do not get such pop up when touching the delete button in the app.

Because of that, I have numerous times accidentally deleted my own comment (sometimes very long) when I wanted to simply edit it.

Can this please be fixed?

The app version for which this doesn't work for me is 1.0.56.
Android 4.4.4.

    Really?! You get a nice big and clear dialog: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/230599/… so really can't see how it can be too easy to delete. Unless of course you don't bother to read messages, and that's really your problem.

    @ShadowWizard The dialog never appeared in my case. I just touched the recycle bin and the comment is suddenly gone.

  • Yep, the dialog never appears and it is enough to touch the delete button. Just tried it again.

  • So please change this question into a bug report, saying that you don't get the confirmation dialog and I'll reverse my downvote here.

  • @ShadowWizard Try posting a comment saying 'Test comment. Test comment.' right in this post with your Android app and then touch your comment and touch the delete button. Does the dialog appear? I want to make sure this really is a bug by making sure we both get different results for the exact same actions. If you can't do it at the moment, I will wait. Thanks.

  • No android app for me, only iOS.

  • Yeah, I can confirm this since the usage of action bar for comments. Probably a regression, but I was too lazy to post this bug report. On the other hand, please include the app version to clarify the issue.

This will be fixed in the next Android build. It looks like the dialog was lost when the comment action dialog was removed.
