Can you post a full-page screen shot? Or better yet a LINK to a thread where it is happening and instructions on how to reproduce? I am not seeing this.

So you can see the ad at the bottom, one with a regular post, and one with a quote. The one with a quote is messed up. Text doesn't re-flow.

Tech suggests that your screen resolution may be set too low when this happens. Do you know what your resolution is?

1920X1080. But when I change the zoom factor that makes a difference. At 125% on Chrome it doesn't re-flow. At 110% it is fine.

Why do quotes work better on mobile when they're narrower? I looked at some posts that had quotes in them & then discussion of what was being quoted & the display of what's being typed/discussion, such as I'm doing w/ this paragraph (to use as an example). The quote is shorter, but what is being displayed outside of the quote (aka, the response) still flows across full-screen, so I don't understand how having the quote slimmer makes any difference if the full width is going to display for the part that's being written that's not a quote.

I checked how it displayed on my tablet as well as my laptop. The tablet displays just like the laptop does & how I explained above/shown as an example. I have difficulty displaying FT on my cell phone to begin w/, so maybe someone else can look at this post on their phone & see if the quote margins and the discussion margins line up or if quote is slimmer than the discussion.

Cheers.
