Feedback when deleting own answer is misleading

Question

I typed a response to a question into the answer field by mistake instead of a comment. I then clicked "delete" on the answer and it told me something like "thanks for voting to delete". But then when I refreshed the page, it was apparently (????) actually deleted.

Deleting your own answer should happen right away and the feedback should be clear (e.g. "your question has been deleted").

Edit

OK, it looks like what I saw earlier doesn't happen any more, but there's still a very similar bug present. Here is a specific reproduction recipe. I tested it just now on this very question in meta. This is with Chrome on Mac OS X.

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to a question.
2. Click yes to "are you sure you want to answer your own question" dialog (if needed).
3. Type "test 2 - I am going to delete this" into answer field.
4. Click "Post Your Answer".
5. Answer appears under question.
6. Click "delete" link for answer.

Actual behavior

1. Dialog reading "Vote to delete this post?" appears.
2. Click OK.
3. Post changes to deleted color and styling, etc.

Expected behavior

1. Dialog reading "Really delete your answer?" (or something) appears.
2. Click OK.
3. Post changes to deleted color and styling, etc.

P.S.

It is kind of lame that I can't remove the tag status-completed.

Answer 1

What happens is that it is deleted from everyone but your view, in case you want to undelete it shortly thereafter. I think that's the right way to do it, in case deleting was a mistake or your account was hacked or something like that. I clicked on your question, and I don't see your answer at all.

Answer 2

There were some css styles associated with direct answer links that prevented the deletion styles from showing up. These have been simplified, so immediate answer deletions can better be seen.

As for the message you saw, I'm not able to reproduce - if you see it again, please let me know with the actions you took before deleting.
