Hello., I was reading about the new release: Discourse 1.9.0.beta16 Release Notes (
) and I tried to post a new reply there… and found something strange.
Try it now… if you press SHIFT + R to open the composer to enter a reply, the composer will appear even the topic is closed! 
I’m not sure if this is a bug, or not.
Can you check?

I’ll need to set up a non-admin account to test. In the meantime, can you confirm if you’re able to post? What happens if you type a valid (>20 character reply) and try to post it?
I tried right now, and it says:
Something has gone wrong. Perhaps this topic was closed or deleted while you were looking at it?
Of course could not post it.

So it’s prob fair to say that it’s not a bug then? Or would you expect the composer not to appear and the modal to come up at the point that you hit the shortcut?
Composer 根本不应该出现。我们已经禁用了启动 Composer 的 UX 元素，键盘快捷键也应该失效。我将把此问题重新归类为 #contribute:ux。该问题理应修复，但由于你无法发帖，因此优先级较低。
顺便说一句，我刚刚测试并可以复现此问题。
@SidV looks like this is a bigger issue than just closed topics. Going to close and link to Composer shortcut should be disabled if user isn't allowed to post.
