External links in quoted text don’t follow “Open all external links in a new tab” setting

I am sorry to always post related to that same option, over and over…

I have noticed that, as always, on MetaBrainz’s which runs a rather updated version but I am now checking if it bugs here too.

Here is the external link that opens in a new tab.

This is the same external link inside a quoted text, let us see if it works.

At MetaBrainz’s it opens in the current tab.

OK so some quoted links are not taking the option in account.
This bug does exist.

I think this has to do with
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/ad15049ef0446c43616267e8ba0dac84e6714923

As it is exiting out before it can get to the point where it reads the external window setting.

Good catch! Thank you.
