Maybe it’s too easy to delete comments on mobile

In numerous occasions I accidentally deleted comments on mobile. Sometimes I can use navigation history to restore them but not always. This can be rather frustrating. Maybe there should be some extra confirmation that’s not easy to accidentally click in order to delete stuff on mobile

    Are you not getting a confirmation popup? You should need to specifically confirm deleting a comment. If it's not working, what mobile browser are you using? It probably wouldn't hurt to move...

    It probably wouldn't hurt to move Delete (and possibly some of the other actions) into a drop-down menu though, since it's such an uncommon action and doesn't need to be readily accessible on every comment.

      Yes I get the confirmation pop up but it’s frequently accidentally clicked also. Thanks!

    It seems like moving "Delete" to the right side (away from "Edit" and "Bookmark") might help, but an undo would be even better. Edit: I just tried this and got a confirmation prompt. You don't?
