I'll bet there's a way to do this but is sure isn't obvious.
When you select REPLY and the quoted message comes up with your space below it to reply....how the hell do you cancel the REPLY action. There is zero cancellation selection anywhere so now you're stuck with a quote with no reply just hanging out there that can't be dismissed.
Crap....being stupid has its costs. Thanks! Never once thought the save would have two options. However....just tried and the draft goes not go away and the REPLY block just sits there and doesn't close irregardless of DRAFT deletion.
There should be a software option icon that allows the deletion of the entire REPLY block. My guess is it should be part of the POST numbering system. The #4 post below is when I replied to the #2 post again but the entirety of #4 post cannot be deleted. The EDIT function maintains the numbering integrity for this post, #3, but you cannot delete #3 either. I should be able to right click the post number and have an option to delete it. Subsequent post numbering could be maintained but there would be a gap in the total sequence, which is fine.
And this should be Post #5 being checked on a Linux machine......when I looked at this post with the prior text in it, and again after DELETE DRAFT was used the draft text was gone but the only selection available was to hit REPLY as there is no option to CANCEL.....Quite confusing.
