Doesn't seem to be working well,  Somehow the posters information including avatar is sometimes included in addition to the text.  Example................

When I was in grade school, I was very antitest.  As I got older, I began to realize the advantages to testing and learned the many ways that test scores could be improved, either by cheating or, in some extreme cases, by actually studying.

Multiple choice tests were my favorite because they were a bit of a mind game.  I passed many multiple choice tests when I had no clue.  

Nowadays, I am definitely protest.

That happens when you select too much area.  If you see the original poster's avatar highlighted, you're gonna get junk.

Possible although I didn't believe that true at the time of the copy.

It could be both - a bug in the software (what you see) and something that can similarly be accomplished by over-selecting an area to be quoted (what I can easily reproduce).

There are a couple of options, use the Quote button, delete text you didn't want quoted.  Of select text by holding the mouse, then release and wait a second and a click Quote selection.

Not sure why too much was posted, but I suspect too much was selected.
