Steps to reproduce

  1. reply to someone using any element client
    2a. editing with the desktop will break the quote on element-android
    2b. editing with element-android will make it double quote on element-desktop

(2a / 2b are either/or type of thing)

Outcome

What did you expect?

1 quote, quoting the post you are replying to

What happened instead?

Depending on what you use to edit:

  • the phones either show 1 quote of the same reply (in this case the desktop then shows 2 quotes)
  • or phones show no quotes at all and desktop shows one

element web/desktop doesn't seem to be the issue since it can always see the quotes.. the phone seems to be adding a "phone only" quote which element-desktop then shows that AND the regular quote. Where-as if it is the desktop that edits, the phone cannot see any quote

let me know if I wasn't thorough enough.. it is easy to do this bug
