Not a bug Cannot edit a post, if post in awaiting approval by mod.

I noticed this big while posting on xenforo.com just now.

There is no "edit" option on your post, if it is awaiting approval from a mod.
This may be "by design" but clearly you should be able to edit your post regardless of needing approval by a mod or not.

Not really a bug. Here there is a limited time window in which one can edit their posts.

There are no permission checks specific to the thread or post being in moderation. This is likely down to limited editing permissions.
