"There was a problem saving your comment. Your comment does not exist. Please try again." makes no sense

• Path to action in the same repository as workflow #26245 (comment)

I wrote a reply and clicked Reply:

There was a problem saving your comment. Your comment does not exist. Please try again.

What does this even mean?
Why would this be a good message?

I didn't click an "Update comment" or "Save comment" button. I clicked a "Reply" button.

I think what happened is that:

1. @jenseng posted a comment Path to action in the same repository as workflow #26245 (comment)
2. I clicked a notification to the comment
3. @jenseng deleted the comment
4. @jenseng reposted the comment as a reply Path to action in the same repository as workflow #26245 (reply in thread) to Path to action in the same repository as workflow #26245 (comment)
5. I tried to post my comment.

The problem is that the error message says:

Your comment does not exist.

But, that's misleading and wrong. It wasn't that my comment doesn't exist, again, how could it?, it's that the comment to which I was trying to reply was deleted.

haha yup, my bad, that's exactly what i did 🙈 ... but yeah, ideally there would be a better error message here
