Hello Vitaliy,

two votes are required for a bug to be confirmed. In the case bug 22857
another user was just faster then me in voting for the bug. That's why
it looked like I was confirming my own bug.

I agree with you that an author should not confirm his/her own bugs as
it would make the state UNCONFIRMED superfluous.

Best regards,
Florian
