Inserting the quote of selected text as a reply is a useful feature, but appearance of the button typically used for this is annoying for [selection readers](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20150528-00/?p=45014), so one can opt-out it in preferences.

But how do I use “quote reply” feature without this button? Pressing “Reply” button at the bottom of the post opens empty reply without a quote. Clicking “Blockquote (Ctrl+Shift+9)” on toolbar does nothing.

I think “Blockquote” should mean “Quote reply” (i.e. insert quotation based on selected text above) when no text in the text area is selected.
