Has this happened to anyone else, and is it “operator error” or a true bug? Namely, on a forum I frequent that uses Discourse I’ll reply to a post, hit the speech bubble to quote the comment I’m replying to, type out my reply etc. and go on my merry way. Later when visiting the same thread, it appears I’ve quoted someone other than the person I’m replying to, and the avatar of the correct replied-to poster is in fact showing, so it makes my comment look like a non sequitur.

On other occasions I’ve seen it happen to someone other than me, where I’ll see my comment in a thread has been quoted in person A’s post, but the reply is meant for person B’s post and not for mine.
