weiquu commented Dec 16, 2023

When editing a comment, the button for cancelation of editing is named "Discard", which is quite misleading - my instinct would be to assume that this deletes the comment entirely, rather than "discarding" the edit:
discard and save buttons

Possibly a better wording would be Cancel, as is common in other website (e.g. Github):

In a similar vein, pressing "Save" even when no edits have been made to a comment causes the comment to show up as edited - I'm not sure if this behaviour is intended or intuitive. Open to discussion.

The delete icon on the comment might also be better in red?

Should I just use "discard changes"? The button text is a ternary operator that either reads "Discard" or "Cancel" . I think making the button text "Cancel" wouldn't be that good?

hi @abdqudus I think we that should stick to "Cancel" as suggested by @weiquu, as is common in most websites
