Unrelated: When you quote me, are intentionally typing undefined? Or is that a weird Lemmy bug?

If you press some of the buttons below the comment editing box, like the Quote or Insert Link button, if the comment box is empty it prepends 'undefined'. Seems like a javascript bug, not properly handling the case where the box is empty.
