satgo1546 reports a bug in the “Change reply target” modal where the Jump to… button does not function when editing a reply. In topics with many posts, scrolling to locate a specific target is difficult, so the user expected the button to allow navigation by post number, but nothing happens when clicked.
maintainer zogstrip confirms the issue and notes it will be fixed in PR #45412 along with other bug fixes.
satgo1546 raises a follow-up concern, noting that the proposed fix appears to remove the timeline footer controls, including the “Jump to…” button, entirely from the reply target picker. They suggest that allowing users to jump to a specific post number via an alternative method would be more useful than removing the functionality. The user pings the maintainer for further thoughts on this design decision.
To reproduce:
Imagine a topic with hundreds or thousands of replies. It is hard or even impossible to land precisely on the target post by scrolling the timeline. I thought the Jump to… button would allow me to set the target by number input, but unfortunately, it seems not working.

Thanks for the response!
If I read it correctly, the timeline footer controls (including the Jump to button) will be removed entirely from the reply target picker after the proposed change. Wouldn’t it be better to allow users to jump to a specific post number, maybe in some other way?

Any thoughts on #3?
