Partial Quote Mis-attributed Upon Quote
What I did:
Fully quoted a post that contained a partial quote
What Should happen:
The partial quote should remain formatted as a partial quote (it should look like the above screenshot, rather than the below plain text within the quote panel)
What happened:
The partial quote formatting was lost, mis-attributing the text to the person who included it as a quote
Why it matters:
It made the poster look like they had said something that they did not, and that they later went on to contradict themselves
Device/Browser:
Linux / Firefox

Hi @masonic
That does look like it could be very misleading and cause problems.
So I've put the case that it should be considered a bug.
