How is Quote "insert a quote or citation" supposed to work?

I write some text, I select the text, I click on "Quote" - and a bunch of text that was not selected ends up in the quote.  I try to "get out" of the quote by pressing Return - it just adds empty lines to the quote. If I go up to one of the empty lines and then press return - it splits the one giant quote in two.  Is there a sensible way for this to work?

Hi Michael and Welcome to the Community!

Yeah that is a tricky one :-). 

Here is what I do in this case:

  • Write text
  • Select text and select Block Quote
  • At the end of the quote I then add one more Return (empty quote line)
  • Then on that line I go to the menu and select Block quote again, which with me results in the last empty line to disappear from the quote and now uou can continue typing normally.

Hope this helps!

Jeroen
