When adding a comment to my WordPress blog, the user has a simple text box with no editing tools at their disposal. But if I edit the comment later, I have a full suite of editing tools.
Is this something wrong with my theme? Or is this "normal" behavior? It seems odd to only give editing tools on subsequent edits *after* the comment is posted.

Dumb question but..do you have the formatting under "writing options" set?

Yes, I do. And no question is dumb: that option could have been unset :)
Bear in mind I'm referring to posting comments, not to posting blog entries. When I post a comment to my site I have no editing tools. When I (at least as administrator) subsequently edit a comment, I have the full editing set, just as I do with blog postings.
I think (?) I may have figured it out. A user can not edit their own comments. I as the post author (actually, as the admin user) can edit any comments associated with my post. At least when I created a test user (a registered user) and created a comment with that user, the account was unable to edit the comment.
If I'm right...is there any way to give a user nothing more than the ability to edit their own comments? Or am I totally confused here?

It's the same for my blog...
