Textbox wiggling when highlighting text - Karlotta - 12-21-2017
Since yesterday I've noticed that when you highlight text in the text box while editing, a "Reply" button pops up next to the name. That seems to be intended to reply to highlighted parts of text more easily, so you dont have to quote the whole post and then remove the parts you want to ignore.
However that button also pops up when you're editing your own post, and there is 1: no need for it and 2: it moves the text box while you highlight stuff, which shifts the text you're highlighting, resulting in highlighting to wrong parts of in wiggling back and forth. That makes it difficult and annoying to use formatting tools like bold, indent, size, etc.
I use Google Chrome, don't know if other browsers are also affected by this.

For me it doesn't move the text box - either normal message display or while editing posts - that might be a screen size thing though.
We can probably change the positioning of the button to be somewhere less disruptive.

After more tests it looks like its indeed more likely to happen the smaller the window is.
Just thought I'd mention it, since the newly appearing button isnt really useful when editing your own posts anyway.

I was going through old tabs and dug this one up. I think I've seen it happen recently depending on the length of the name of the posts' author, so I moved the button. It should be less disruptive now.

I hated this. I always hated it so much because I like selecting pieces of text as I read longer posts and it'd bounce everything around constantly so I'm glad to see it fixed.

Thanks for fixing it, this is much better. It was really annoying for people who like to nitpick other people's posts point by point
