I noticed that for my user there is no edit option for my own comments to non-closed questions.
It does not seem to matter when the question and the comment were created.
I can only modify the comment if there are no answers posted for it.
On the other hand, I can edit my own comments to answers:
And I can edit my comments in Coffee Corner discussions:
What is the idea behind not allowing users to modify direct comments on questions?
I suppose that this might be a side (d)effect of what was explained here: "If Question has at least one answer, OP without moderation permissions can't modify question (as answer may have no sense after question updates)."
Still, I wanted to modify a recently added comment, not the original post, and considering that most members use answers and comments on random principle, it does not make a lot of sense to prevent members from fixing typing mistakes for example. Come on, we could have at least 5 minute grace period for correcting links and typos!
Hi,
I am moderator and so I have edit feature everywhere and I remember once the Edit was not visible, but a good ol' refresh browser magic resolved the problem, so it might have been just a temporary bug. I don't know if what I faced is the same what you faced, still I thought I bring this up, perhaps it helps someone.
Cheers,
Ervin

Unfortunately, what I described, is not related to browser refresh, I even tried on my work laptop to edit a comment that I created at home in a different browser, I was connected via a different network, and I always clear cookies and cache in exit.
Moderators just have super powers. 🙂
"What is the idea behind not allowing users to modify direct comments on questions?" - no idea, just a bug to my mind!
