 * When a comment is waiting for moderation, the edit buttons are not shown correctly.
   Only the labels are shown. A user cannot edit his comment at this point. Below
   the generated content. It shows Dutch translations, but i hope the issue is clear.
 * I’m using version 3.4.0 with theme Twenty Twenty-for. Not sure if it is a compatability
   issue or a bug.

   awaiting-moderation”>Je reactie is in afwachting van moderatie. Dit is een voorbeeld;
   je reactie wordt zichtbaar nadat deze is goedgekeurd.</em></p>This does not look

 * [@dannystaal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dannystaal/) I was able to 
   reproduce this and have [put together a code-fix on GitHub](https://github.com/superdav42/simple-comment-editing/pull/50)
   that needs to be reviewed. Thanks for the report and your patience while I get
   this fixed.
