Yup, it is a hack only… The standard EmojiPicker in Discourse uses module-global variables to store the picker to popup. Any time the reply window is opened, it gets overwritten to point to a different emoji picker, throwing everything off.
I’ve opened an issue for this:
When the reply window is open, the variable points to the standard EmojiPicker. When you press the retort button, my fix forced-overwrite the variable to point to the RetortEmojiPicker. But if the reply window (and the standard EmojiPicker) is still open, obviously two emoji pickers together are going to make things very interesting… especially when there is only one module-global variable to point to one of them.
