When editing an own comment edit box disappears and it takes some time to reappear

Submitted by Ensign Joe on September 1, 2008 to Annoyance, Website suggestion

Problem: Whenever you want to edit a comment you posted to a submission and you double-click for the entry enabling you to edit it the box disappears and - especially if it's the last comment to the topic you're going to modify - you start typing into the "New submission" field and then the textarea you're supposed to type in suddenly appears and you're confused and have to either cut'n'paste your text or type it again.
On slow connections this might be a more severe issue than on my DSL 2000 which still takes about 3 seconds to open.

Solution: At least show a "processing" label that states the page is working.

Severity: Low

Impact: Low

Status: Will fix

This will be fixed when the site is migrated to use the Here's an idea system.
