David Mack Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I find that if you select some text in a message, and then hover the cursor over the highlighted text the "Quote this" box comes up. Move the cursor away and click the mouse and it disappears. I assume its meant to be an easy way of quoting part of a message. But it can appear unexpectedly if you accidentally highlight some text.

Rob-M Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 It's been there since the upgrade, select some text and hover over it allowing a selective quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution RichM Posted July 26, 2017 Solution Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Not sure exactly how long it has been around but as Daniel says, it's likely to be a 4.0 feature in which case probably since early this year. - It's useful if you only want to quote part of a post rather than the post in its entirety.
