  1. Click 'Cancel'(or hit Esc) - the editor area container will become blank - no editing icons:

  • The editor area gets stuck - the buttons do nothing. Only reloading the page dismisses it.
  • nothing is displayed in Console
  • Repeated attempts to Reply for the level 3 nested replies will bring empty editing areas along with correctly displayed editing area.

Something like this:

Checked in betalabs - all is fixed for 8 level of nesting; no new issues have been found.

If this is the same error that happens when you click 'Reply' on 'Has this stuff been fixed' at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Breakfast , it's quite disruptive in practice.

I think this should be cherry-picked.
