**Reproduce:**

1. Be in a topic in a category with a somewhat-lengthy (multiple line) topic template enabled.
2. Find a reply post within the topic, and click the “Reply as new topic” link in the right sidebar.

**Expected results:**

- The new topic is created in the same category.
- The “Continuing the discussion from…” preamble text appears above the topic template text.

**Actual results:**

- The new topic is created in the same category.
- The preamble text is appended to the topic template text, at the end of the same final line. (Not even on a new line by itself.) This causes user confusion and to miss the link altogether.
