Yes, this may be what you’re running into. If you’re quoting the post directly above your own _and_ you’re quoting the entire post (rather than just a specific segment) the quote is removed.

We’re trying to avoid showing an entire duplicate post when you can already see the post directly above.

Site admins can disable this with the `remove full quote` site setting.
