Process:

1. Quote reply on the thread you’re trying to quote from
2. Navigate to the thread you want to reply on
3. Finish adding snarky commentary and hit “reply”

Expected: A popup asking which thread to reply on  
Also acceptable: Just replying where my browser is pointing now  
Actual: Replying on the original thread
