Go to quoted post doesn't work on quote in spoilers

AI-generated summary

Users are discussing an issue where the “go to the quoted post” button doesn’t work as expected when a quote is wrapped in spoiler tags nawthor. To demonstrate the issue, itsbhanusharma and cpradio posted examples of quotes wrapped in spoiler tags, showing that the button only toggles the spoiler blur instead of linking to the original post.

nawthor clarified that this issue occurs even when using spoiler tags on a partial quote, but the expand/collapse button still works in such cases. codinghorror suggested that spoilering an entire quote is not the intended use of spoiler tags and that it’s more suitable for sections of a post.

If you quote a post and add spoiler tags around it, the “go to the quoted post” button doesn’t work as expected. Unlike the expand/collapse button it only toggles the spoiler blur. It doesn’t bring you to the quoted post.

Can you post an example in a reply here? You mean the entire post has to be spoilered?

I’ve just tried doing it!

Looks like it’s missing the styling of quote tags

Trying it with [spoiler] and [quote] on separate lines (you can’t click the buttons on the quote (username/name or the go to post) – which sort of makes sense, probably could treat it similar to how links are handled.

So it is something related to the implementation of markdown. We have to use some things with extra caution right?

No. Even using spoiler tags on a quote of part of a post has this problem. (But when you use spoiler tags on a partial quote the expand/collapse button still works)

I’d say spoilering an entire quote is kind of griefing; the intent is to spoiler sections of a post, not a quote. (And also, why would something posted by a user earlier in the topic, or in another topic, be a spoiler?)
