Trouble with quoted text

[anorlunda]

Recently I had trouble on two posts quoting text. I wonder if anyone else had the same experience.

The trouble was that although all the text was quoted, the quotation window on the post has too few lines, and there is no scroll bar to view the rest of the lines.

Here's an example. I tried to quote this entire post.

The result is:

JWST is not the only one. There are four other space telescope projects in the works. All four of them are designed to orbit the L2 point. According to the video, all four are intended to be simpler and cheaper than the JWST; not surprising because technology marches on.

2:54 Habitable Exoplanet observatory (HabEx)
8:53 Lynx X-Ray observatory
12:00 Origins Space Telescope (OST)
17:17 Large Ultraviolet, Optical, Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR)

In edit mode, the entire text is visible, but in preview mode or after posting, the bottom lines are cut off.

EDIT: I proved myself wrong. When posted it is OK. Only in preview mode are lines cut off.

Was it still a problem after you refreshed the browser window one time? Quoted stuff often doesn't all show until you refresh the window, in my experience...

Aargh. I tried to test it with refresh, but now I can't reproduce the symptom at all.

Please disregard unless I can capture evidence with a screen shot.

Yeah, I see it sometimes too, but refreshing the browser window seems to restore the whole quote. Probably some Greg optimization thingy.

OK, you are now. . . disregarded. .

I've also seen it once or twice, and it goes away on a refresh. Visually, it's like discussion sites that hide all but the first couple of lines of long quotes, but with no "click to expand" type button.
