When I try to quote something using Firefox on my tablet, I only get one word.  
It was working when I posted 4 hours ago, but now it doesn’t work anymore.

  
I have tried [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) and a private tab to eliminate browser plugins.

I noticed there was a recent commit which should improve the text selection: [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/33143](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/33143)  
Could this be the cause?

When I switch Discourse to mobile view using the button in the sidebar, it works. But as soon as I switch back, it’s broken again.

@Moin I just deployed meta on a specific branch reworking the toolbar, can you give it a try and let me know how it goes for you please?

(one small bug I know, is that now you have to press `e` twice for fast edit, I will fix this)
