Feels like a bug, as the function exists in 1.2.0-beta4. My guess is the latest change around closed topics accidentally broke it in PMs? @eviltrout

But… turns out you can select text in a closed topic, but the quote button won’t appear. The editor is also hidden. Of course this makes sense within that closed topic. But it’s not a very uncommon thing to quote from a closed topic into another topic.
