STR: 1. Press "Reply" on a comment in a bug Expected results: The quoted text of the comment appears in the comment text box immediately. Actual results: There is a delay (I didn't time it, but feels arond 500-1000ms) before the quoted text appears. This delay seems to have been introduced recently. Is it a known issue? I assume it's not intentional.

I forgot to leave a comment here. The main problem is the current UI requiring you to scroll all the way down to the comment box, and it affects how the quoted comment is filled in the box. Bug 1330451 will make the comment box fixed at the bottom of the page, like Slack, IRC client, Facebook Messenger, etc. so this annoying behaviour will be gone.

However, even when the UI issue is solved, there’s always a delay because the original (not rendered) comment text has to be retrieved via the API. But the UX will be much better than now.

Bug 1563360 removes smooth scrolling to solve this issue as well.
