On my osx chrome browser, I am able to select text to quote reply, but it doesn’t work if I select text by triple clicking a paragraph.
to replicate:
while reading a post, double click on a word you want to quote reply. it works and the quote reply link pops up!
now triple click on the word to select the whole paragraph. It doesn’t work and the quote reply goes away.
now select a paragraph by mousing over it. It works!
A minor issue, but one that I keep noticing.

Presumably because chrome’s selection thing randomly includes bits of the chrome too (it seems to select a little bit after the newline, highlighting at the start of the ‘like’ heart). I don’t know if this is fixable or worth fixing but I thought it should be reported.
Another thing I’d like is a user-option t…
