Quoting indent weirdness

The indent is off, it auto indents a couple of levels after reaching newlines

It is because for the second and third quoted line there are two of these “>” symbols

I have edited to only have one for the third line

derp

Yeah, I get what makes it indent 2 levels deep

What I don't get is why, when you select 3 lines that have no indentation (like my first post) and click reply, the forum decides that the first line deserves one > and the ones below deserve > >

Is it a hard vs soft return thing maybe? If I quote I usually manually add > at the start, rather than use the quote function.

It does seem like it's only with the combined reply/quote function. Where you've highlighted a bunch of text from an existing comment and hit reply which auto makes it into a quote and slightly mangles the indentation.

Might be related to the hard/soft, break/paragraph though.
quoting a br seems to not put in any >, but quoting a new paragraph puts the > there, so maybe related logic

Writing something
this had a return before the line
this had a return
this had a shift-return
this had a return.

Nope... seems not

@Velocio unless it's by design, though I can't see why it'd be the case

It's a bug.

Anyone know JavaScript well enough to take a look?
