This is the old “can’t quote the last paragraph because it includes a hidden character” problem isn’t it?

nope - in my case it didn’t work no matter what text I selected. I did have some mixed results though - usually nothing would happen, but then if I tapped the selected text again the “quote reply” would indeed popup but over to the right. Tapping that would then have no result.
update: I just tried this on my discourse and it worked as described above. select text, tap it, see quote reply popup, select quote reply popup, see quoted text appear in reply.
This is fiddly on iOS as well, sometimes Quote Reply won’t show up and you have to massage the selection to get it to appear. I think it’s the same “issue”, in that you have to move the selection around to get it consistently.

Found a small regression on mobile. When selection goes out of the cooked area, the quote reply button should not remain visible.
