Comment Options in Jira Issues moved ? Why ?

Dear Atlassian Support,

since today we've noticed that the EDIT and DELETE comment options were removed from the comment interaction bar in Jira Cloud tickets. There only remains REPLY, THUMBS UP and EMOJI options. EDIT and DELETE have apparently been moved to a 3-dot menu, that is only visible when one hovers with the mouse over a comment.

How do you justify, that with this new design choice everyone needs to click twice to get the same result?

This is a step backwards from a usability standpoint in my opinion (as a admin and poweruser) and should be reverted immediately.

Please elaborate.

Hi @Eric Giesi 

Welcome to the community.

Or the permission have changed on the project or you where on a plan and the payment has not been done.

Reach out to you admin or if you are the admin of your instance check the settings.

This is a public forum and not Atlassian Support, here members are like you and don't have access to instances.

Hi Marc,

No, neither have permissions changed nor is this related to payment.

Since today every issue in every project shows this:

EDIT and DELETE are gone from the comment interaction bar and were moved to a 3-dot menu.
