No new quotes in edits?

[Elenion he/him]

I have encountered what appears to be an interesting glitch: I cannot add a new quote as an edit to an existing post. I click in the edit pane of the existing post and place my cursor on the desired area, but when I press "quote this" for highlighted text, the text quote appears in the new post area, not in the edit post area. The only way I've found to get around this is to make an entirely new post, but that often means double-posting.

Is this a glitch, or this there some feature that I don't fully understand? I'm very technology-literate, but can't get it to work.

I doubt the software is smart enough to redirect your 'quote this' click to the edit pane. for example you could have started a new post at the bottom of the page, then found your post to edit and then where should it put the quote? I agree it's not quite intuitive but it's a complicated thing so ?

I've tried this with multi quoting, open the edit box, tell it to quote and it goes to a new reply. I've just been double posting and apologising.

Copy-paste the quotes from the new reply window into edit post window. It works quite well.
