On mobile iOS, typically when replying in a post, user can first select text, press "quote," and have formatted text automatically inserted into message body.

After iOS 15 update, pre-selected text is not inserted—instead a blank "Enter the text you wish to quote" dialog is displayed.

Bold/Italicize/Underline markup also affected.

Behavior consistent when tested on iPhone in Chrome and Safari browsers.


ETA: Issue persists in mobile iOS 15.1
ETA: Top-tier internet user LNCHBOX notes issue exists in both Desktop/Mobile modes
ETA: Issue persists in mobile iOS 15.2
ETA: Issue persists in mobile iOS 15.2.1
ETA: Issue persists in mobile iOS 15.3.1
ETA: Issue persists in mobile iOS 15.4
ETA: Top-tier internet user dhuck20's disappointment is immeasurable

ETA: Elite-tier internet user Circus Child reports IT’S WORKING



Thank you!!

Yeah, that annoys me now. Hopefully, that gets corrected soon.

Alright dammit.

Perusing some of the code (at least what I can see).

Seems like maybe the onMouseDown/onClick isn't firing properly to call their respective functions?

Did the new WebKit change something in the JavaScript engine, or maybe even introduce a bug?
