> Issue 1 - The quote is working intermittently. Users are experiencing times when the quote shows up briefly and then disappears upon replying. I’ve seen this behavior myself but it is difficult to reproduce consistently.

That is a built-in feature. When an immediate reply quotes the whole post just above it is removed by the system. Clicking on the Edit Pencil will show you why.

> Issue 2 - Quoting a reply that itself is a quote does not return the proper author in the parent quote. Please see the example provided here:

This is completely client-side. Only happens if you try to select a post with a quote to quote and not when using the dedicated quote button on the composer. Also the quoted post must start with a quote for this to happen.

Looks to be a regression on the recent work on this area. Any ideas @vinothkannans?
