On mobile: If I start writing a message and then minimise the editor to read the posts again, I cannot quote the text anymore. The button Quote appears, but dies not insert anything to writer.
Reproduce: open topic. Quote part of a post. Write something more. Minimise writing box/window. Try to quote again. Fail. Profit?

When you say “minimize the website”, what exactly do you mean?

This works
But when I minimize the composer, like so, and try to quote
Nothing happens, despite clicking quote

I mean composer. Sorry for being unclear.

This fixes it. I also cleaned up the code when I was in there as it was quite old and confusing at times:
