I have the same problem on [community.metabrainz.org](http://community.metabrainz.org) latest Firefox 78.5.0esr (64 bits) on Debian 10 now.

It’s just been a few days since I have this issue, whatever the skin I use.  
Maybe it’s since the translucent Quote button?

It happens when my selection overlaps several spans (bold, code, italic, links, user mentions, etc.).

I cannot reproduce it here “meta”, indeed, nor on “try”.  
MetaBrainz is (2.6.0 like the OP @Andro) `Discourse 2.6.0 version d6121249d3856a40382637ed12db50fc43c1fb1d` so maybe I just have to wait that they update to your `Discourse 2.7.0.beta1 - https://github.com/discourse/discourse version 477538bf2dde226747cfa9de85006bbab1930f63` and it will work magically again?

Here is the [test case described on our topic](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/quote-button-issue/506978?u=jesus2099):

 ![a kind of selection that prevents Quote button](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/b/a/ba95f7a9c99f8d6651db78c0c50873c8d3099451.png)
