Editing posts with reply quotes is wonky

[antialiasis]

(I'm on Firefox; don't know if it matters, but.)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use the reply-to-a-reply feature to reply to a reply. This opens up the editor, with "[username] replied to your post: [post title]" and then a blockquote with the user's reply. I can type an answer below it and post it just fine.
2. Now edit the resulting post. Problem 1: suddenly "[username]", "replied to your", "post", ":" and "[post title]" are all separate paragraphs (presumably, what's actually happening is each HTML element is getting wrapped in a paragraph). This has been happening for a while with the old xkit.
3. Fix that so that the "replied to your post" stuff is one line above the quote again (presumably a sensible thing for people to do under the circumstances), then save the post.
4. Press the edit button on the post again. Problem 2: Suddenly, both the "replied to your post" line and the blockquote have disappeared, and if you save they will be permanently gone. This one seems to be recent? I only just installed New XKit in the hope it would fix it, but alas.

Same issue here, same steps to reproduce, although I don't know how long it's been like this for me. Firefox 39.0.3, other installed browser extensions:

• Adblock Plus 2.6.10 (disabled on tumblr)
• Blur 4.9.1728
• Stylish 2.0.2.1 (but only one style to disable PNG transparency when viewing an image alone)
• EPUBReader 1.5.0.6.1
• RAMBack 1.0.1
• Video DownloadHelper 5.3.1.1
  (I don't imagine those last three are likely to cause conflicts, but for the sake of thoroughness I listed them.)
  Default Firefox theme.

Some XKit stuff:

• In the One-Click Reply extension, I have Show Avatars, Open In New Tab, Multiple Reply, and Tag By Usernames enabled.
• Editable Reblogs is enabled.

Hopefully some of that is relevant. If not, or you just need more info, my tumblr URL is theunderdog09. Best to contact me there.

I reproduced it too. I think it's because of the way we fetch the HTML for creating the reply, we keep all the styling HTML tags like <span class="activity"> but Tumblr strips away automatically additional "not allowed" tags when saving the post, and either replace them with br/p or strip the content of said tag.

Closing since replies have been removed and this issue can no longer occur.

@thepsionic ocr is still a thing though, and this can affect any

@nightpool I forgot about that. Anyway, I just tested it, and it doesn't seem to bug out anymore; @antialiasis @TheUnderdog09 @WyohKnott If you still experience this issue feel free to re-open it.
