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
