It works for me here on meta:

Unable to quote multiple paragraphs or anything across different HTML tags

Apologies, wrong diagnosis. 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

This still isn’t working

Thank you for staying on this Brian, we are able to repro this and have assigned an engineer to fix it. Hang tight, you’ll get an update here soon.

Fixed via:

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.
