I noticed that I’m no longer able to do the following in a closed topic:

1. Highlight a sentence
2. Click "Reply as linked topic
3. Open a “New Topic” editor with my quote included.

Instead, this happens:

1. Highlight a sentence
2. Click "Reply as linked topic
3. Page is refreshed.

I’m also unable to:

1. Reply as new topic
2. Highlight a sentence
3. Click “quote reply” to include it in my editor

What happens instead:

1. Reply as new topic
2. Highlight a sentence
3. Nothing happens when I click “quote reply”.

(Mods please remember to test on an unprivileged account 😛 )

p.s. I could not reproduce this on my own v1.4 stable forum. Can’t test on Try yet because no closed topics there.

This sounds like a bug for @eviltrout to look at.

Fixed it, thanks!

Well to be honest the second use case was not broken for me – but I suspect it’s fixed by the first one.
