Given the discussion here Deleting a comment (mine) shouldn't count as a comment vote as well as many other places on meta Wrong message "You may only submit a comment every five seconds" when deleting multiple comments or Confirmation dialog for deleting a comment does not appear twice etc Incorrect error text when deleting multiple comments within 5 seconds

Why is there no longer a dialog box when I go to1 delete a comment within five seconds of another comment action? Is this a regression bug?

1 oh it was funny to me :p

.comment-delete's click handler invokes submiteVote(), which makes an incorrect assumption about where you clicked. Specifically, it uses this.jComment.find(".comment-actions") to pass as the error target to .ajax()/StackExchange.helpers.showErrorPopup(), which only exists if the comment that you're "voting" on is not your own.

Since the target doesn't exist in this case, when the server returns the 409 response about rate-limiting your comment voting, the error dialog is appended to an empty jQuery set and therefore isn't visible to the user.
