I noticed this a little bit ago on an older question. I clicked "vote to close", but the box that came up said, "You cannot vote to close again after retracting your vote." I figured I just had change of heart in the past and had retracted my close vote.

But then I was looking at more recent instances of questions I have voted to close that were closed and then reopened. If I click to vote to close I still get the same message: "You cannot vote to close again after retracting your vote," even though I never retracted a close vote.

Functionally, I suppose this doesn't make a difference. But I just wanted to raise the issue. I think the message used to say something like "you have already voted to close this question" or something like that.

    $\begingroup$ Yeah, you can't vote to close the same question twice, but "retracted" is the wrong word. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ This is a duplicate of When a retraction is not a retraction. Please update close-menu message on the main Meta site. The bug was reported soon after it was introduced, but they haven't fixed it in 2½ years. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @benrg Ah, well more visibility I guess? Haha. I'm more surprised that it took me that long to notice $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Well, status-review will bump it in the developers' queue. It certainly won't make it take longer to fix $\endgroup$
