I have added back in all plugins and it’s still working. When I rebuilt the app I did a git pull. I can only assume that a more recent update fixed whatever was broken. So this seems to be fixed blush This still isn’t working ---

Fixed via: [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/6d4cfbf12020efc77138775d70604f863f8f9dc2](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/6d4cfbf12020efc77138775d70604f863f8f9dc2) Now the “quote” button will be available on closed topics (only) when the composer is open. Thanks for bringing this in our notice @b264. 👍 ---
