New Facebook Comment Editing Feature Causing Annoyance At First

If you've been on Facebook recently, and let's be honest, you have, you'll notice a small change if you've tried to comment on something.
That change is this: The "comment" button is gone!
We don't mean the first one, but the one you click to submit the comment! Instead, all you have to do is hit enter!
While this could be seen as an annoyance at first, they've done this because they've added a very handy comment editing feature. So no longer will you misspell something or immediately regret sounding stupid about something and have to delete the entire thing!
You can just click the X like you were going to delete the comment, but now you have the option to edit or delete completely!
Where's the annoyance in that, you say? The annoyance comes in the idea of hitting enter to post the comment, because that used to be for performing paragraph breaks. So until people get used to it, you'll be seeing a lot of accidental postings going on, but at least they can go back in and edit now!
To do a paragraph break, you just have to press Shift + Enter, like in a lot of instant-messaging programs.
We think everyone will get used to it easily, especially for the chance to edit!
How do U feel about this new change??

so is this "edit" feature only available for a certain amount of time after you post a comment? because i posted a comment earlier today and it's not giving me the option to edit when i hit the "x", just delete. however if i leave a comment right now and then hit the "x", it gives me the edit option.
i like the change!
Thanks for the shift-enter hint!!!
FUCKTARDED BECAUSE OTHER SOCIAL NETWORKS DONT NEED TO HIT ENTER OR SHIFT-ENTER AND STILL HAVE AN EDIT BUTTON BESIDE THE COMMENT BOX. SMFH. ZUCKERBERG IS FALLING BEHIND. GET WITH THE PROGRAM DUDE!!
It's really annoying!
So when I'm writing a perfect comment I have to ctrl+enter to go to another line… instead of just enter. And click on post after I checked my comment for mistakes.
It's 'unnatural' if you compare it to normal typing. And it adds nothing… Still, if you make a mistake people will read it in the notification they receive in their mailbox.
Now you edit, before you would delete & and re-post.
when r they shutting this crap down???
I wish they would just quit changing shit. Just leave it alone, all these changes make me just want to quit using it.
Hmmm, I don't think the line break/enter is related to the ability to edit. The editing comes after the comment is posted, so it would work both if the enter was to post or put a break. These two changes just happened to roll out together, but its not the scenario you are explaining.
its annoying. there's no two ways about it.
They better be careful. people dont like changes (me included). Changes and frequent ones tend to alienate people. They should just leave things as they are, such a small thing as this (to me) should been left alone!
Well it got me yesterday…I was told this morning about the new change.
Thanks for the Shift/Enter tip. I hate the look of a run on sentence when commenting.
I bet they just added this to try and kill sites like Failbook and Lamebook that live off of people's typos and embarrassing comments.
Face book sucks it's the new addiction and it's fuckin retared ! It opens up doors for child predators adult stalkers and a bunch of weirdo's sounds fun not!
