It looks like when you quote a post that contains a link this triggers the `js.composer.duplicate_link` message:

I suppose links in quotes should be excluded?

Also, there seems to be a typo in the default version of that text content element (“ago” is missing)

Can’t help with the trigger issue, but here’s a fix for the typo:

Hmm, so the copy just got changed again, and it doesn’t work in all cases:

It does work when a date is used instead of a relative time:

It looks like we either need two translation strings, or the copy needs to be changed in a more significant way.

Edit: Looks like @eviltrout made the change here:

Thanks for reporting it. This should fix it:
