Description Benjamin Muskalla CLA 2012-05-08 11:50:43 EDT 
I often want to reply to only a part of a comment. Right now, I need to reply to the comment and delete most of the quote. I could imagine selecting a part of the comment, hitting reply and only the selected part will be inserted as quote in the new comment field.

That sounds like a good idea to me.

This is now supported for StyledText based comment parts. If a connector displays comments with a different UI component the reply to action will simply quote the entire comment text regardless of selection.

This functionality does not work on the release.
