Splitting quotes no longer possible

[Jannes]

I used to be able to cut a quote in half with the paragraph key. It doesnt work anymore. Does anyone have similiar experiences? Its not a huge deal but it was kind of nice, especially when you want to shorten a quote and want to take the video or picture out at the end which isnt possible now.

What is paragraph key?

I am on phone most of the time. I just quote the entire quote, then erase parts by marking it and removing

Oh yeah, I remember learning about that!

@Jannes ok . Is an alternative to just mark and remove?

There, I just high lighted the image and pressed delete.

Kind of. I noticed splitting makes two things easy:

1) As I said when there is a video or picture right at the end you cant get your mouse under that and remove it so if you want to shorten a quote with a picture at the end this seems to be only possible with splitting.

2) Sometimes you want to respond to parts of the quote. You can work around that by quoting the whole quote multiple times and removing different parts of it, its less comfortable though.

 

Its not a huge deal but I noticed the absence of that feature.

@Yimpa No, I cant highlight the picture and delete it. Maybe it works on other devices, on Mac it doesnt seem to be possible.

I never remember being able to use the paragraph key for splitting sections.

My issue is that I sometimes have problems quoting multiple sections within a single response. It will only let me do one quote, which I have to manually override with copy + paste. This was not an issue for me before.

It works differently on Safari compared to Firefox.

I tested this on my Mac.

Oh that was it, you are right! 

 

[Jannes]

Begs the question if it could be added as a feature though?

Of course only if its easy to do, its just a comfort thing at the end.

Yeah, the quote splitting stopped working for me also a few days ago. I have no idea why. None of the site code has changed.

Oh interesting, it still works on Safari on my Mac - I thought that was the real reason.

I only recently transitioned to Firefox so I cant tell if it ever would have worked.

[Leo Gura]

I think it's a Firefox update that broke it.

My Firefox used to work before I updated.

Firefox is such an underrated browser. I used for the last 10 years Opera exclusively, recently I switched to Firefox for how fast this browser feels. Feels so clean and neat.
