Thanks for the report. We're already aware of the bug and I've already written a fix; it'll be deployed soon.

What happened? We have two functions to check for your abilities around a post `check_your_privilege` and `check_your_post_privilege`. The latter will also allow you to do something, if you are the author of the post on which it is supposed to happen.

When I updated the post button bar for the Abilities update, I thought it'd be a good idea to use just one if-branch for the "Delete", "Tools" and "Pending Flags" actions. However, I forgot that while "Delete" should also be available to the author regardless of Abilities, the others shouldn't.

This has been fixed, pending deploy. No Codidactyls were harmed.
