The question list for Q&A on the Electrical Engineering site shows this entry:

However, in the question (https://electrical.codidact.com/questions/279739), there is nothing indicating the question was changed:

Clicking on "History" does reveal the change. I was expecting the little pencil icon showing a change, with "3 hours ago by Lundin" next to it.

This is an edit to my own question. It seems the bug manifests itself when someone other than then original author makes an edit. Here is to find out what happens when the author makes an edit.

If this works correctly, perhaps someone else can add another edit to see if the bug appears.


This is a further edit by Monica, made at 23:29 UTC, to see how the "edited" indicator is affected.


This is a suggested edit from a user who can't edit directly.


The previous version exhibited the bug, confirming that the problem is with edits that have to be approved by a third party.

Here is a further test to see if the condition is reset due to an edit by the post author (which is probably only relevant because it doesn't require approval).

Tentative characterization of the bug: this happens when a user who does not have the Edit ability makes a suggested edit and that suggestion is approved. Look at the edit history on this question. After Olin's edit the "last edited" indicator was correct. After I edited it was updated correctly (so not a problem with third-party edits). But when Monica's Sock edited it and I approved that edit, the "last edited" indicator disappeared entirely.


Suggested edit on an answer, for science!

Could you test it on this answer?

@Moshi confirmed -- answers too.

I just checked the other report, seems like it is the same as this then.

Tsk. Approving your own edits is an inappropriate use of sockpuppets. (Kidding.)

Looks like you nailed it. Nice sleuthing!

@msh210 this is why I did it openly, so all would know what I was doing and why. (Was going to put a smiley here to acknowledge your "kidding", but while I know we're just kidding around, the sentiment is real -- if I do something that would be an issue if done under other circumstances, I want to be transparent about it.)
