Continuing the discussion from Quote post from closed topic:
I think this used to be fixed but has regressed now:
I encountered this in the wild as a normal user on elastic trying to do normal user things.
(attn: @eviltrout)
@supermathie I asked in chat but I think it got lost: was this the result of you disabling a user preference for highlight quoting?

It was not. Quoting was enabled and worked on open topics on both sites.

Can we repro this @jomaxro? Does feel like a bug and a regression to me?

I can repro, yes. Quote button isn’t appearing for non-staff users in closed topics. Old discussion for reference: Quote post from closed topic

Noticed another quoting regression. The quote button does not appear within [quote] blocks. It does work in quote blocks that include a username, like [quote=jomaxro], as well as in > blocks.
Works:
[quote=jomaxro]
Lorem Ipsum
[/quote]
> Lorem Ipsum
Doesn’t work:
[quote]
Lorem Ipsum
[/quote]
Let me know if you’d rather have this split into a dedicated topic.

I think he meant that the quote button does not pop up if you post [quote] blocks manually without a username. Try quoting this:
The Quote button does not show up:
On the other hand, it shows up as expected when username is added. Try quoting this:
You’ll see that the quote button shows up:
This should only affect users that type in quote blocks manually.

This is probably causing a false positive on the nested-quote-quoting-misattribution protection.

Or, it’s just straight-up throwing a Javascript exception
