Post without bumping

It seems that if you post without bumping, then edit your post, the comment bumps the image anyway. Intentional, or a bug?

Also if you double post without bumping and delete the extra comment, it gets bumped too.

It may or may not be intentional. For privileged/builder level and above, editing and deleting comments doesn't bump the image.

Hm, but I'm a privileged user, and this still happens.

We're not talking about just editing but rather editing a comment you just posted "without bumping". That does bump the image, to wherever it would have been if the initial comment had been posted with bumping.

That's correct. I believe that also goes into the 2-per-hour limit.

Editing a comment doesn't seem to distinguish between whether the comment was originally posted with or without bumping. I'm not an expert so I can't describe my speculation in good words, but it's probably because the bumping function has nothing to do with the comment itself.

I just discovered that if one posts an unbumped comment then votes (this time, up) on a previous comment, it bumps the image.
