Replying as a linked topic creates a second draft

Bug
1

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Visit a topic and quote a part of a post.
  2. Click the + at the top left of the composer and select “Reply as a linked topic.”
  3. Add some text to the body, a title, and, if needed, select a category.
  4. Post the Reply as a new topic.
  5. Check your drafts at /my/activity/drafts.

Expected result: Since I posted the topic, there should be no draft.
Actual result: The quote that was in the composer before I chose to reply as a linked topic is still there as a draft for a reply to that topic. There is no draft for the linked topic

I would expect clicking “reply as a linked topic” to “convert” the draft instead of creating a second one. I can imagine that this was less of a problem when drafts containing only a quote were not saved.
