I can edit comments fine (I just checked).
I thought maybe the reason was that you were trying to edit a post in a locked thread but I found one of my comments in a locked thread and edited it successfully just now, so that's not it.
Its likely something on your end:
- try update browser you are using to the latest version
For reference I'm using Google Chrome (currently latest) Version 57.0.2987.133 (64-bit) and editing works fine.
