Try quote :wink: this text on Firefox 57 (on Windows). Tested on Windows 7 (Pro x64)with Firefox 57 (x64). I try used clean profile firefox and safe mode Firefox. One of the few tries to do it copy text to answer textarea.

Tested on this topic Migrate a phpBB3 forum to Discourse - few tries no open answer/reply with quote. No see any visible error, I can not use webdeveloper tools.

Hmm, something has changed with FF 57. Most of the time, when I double click a line to have it highlighted, the quote button won’t show…

Interesting. On my computer the quote button shows up every time, but clicking it doesn’t work most of the time. Looks like the quote button doesn’t work (most of the time), when double click was used to select a paragraph. It seems to work in all other cases…

[imagem] gerhard: double Double click + quote works for me (to highlight one word) , triple click + quote (to highlight a paragraph) does not work (before the Quantum update). I see the quote button in both cases, simply with the triple click nothing happens when I click “quote”.

Works fine for me in Firefox latest.. [image]

OK, I reproduced the issue on Firefox 57 and fixed per: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/ff1ce175fc2307323f934da48288eba7d9a667f8 What was happening is that sometimes our code was triggering a HARD infinite loop around text selection, where we were constantly re-selecting the same text. This caused general unreliability on multiple platforms over the years and is part of the reason we debounce calls to the selection changed method. cc @zogstrip
