Haven't had an issue like that on me at all, tried it just now as well, doesn't seem to happen as is on the capture video. i'd suggest that you check & see if theres an adware~ish or a broken plugin installed on your browser that is causing this or do a small antivirus sweep with an external AV other than malware bytes (i recall you having that installed from a recent status update). it could be a coin mining site/tool one time MLWBYT couldn't find one on my system but the Kasperskly scooped it perfectly out the main C-drive that was causing a similar rerouting issue.

i have malwarebytes and use it actively and have an antivirus, and this is the first time this has happened.

felt like it was overlaying something over the button & when you clicked, it rerouted as if it was a hyperlink. cannot replicate it from my end, when i click it, it goes straight to spoiler feature on the edit portion with no issues. is it still happening for you?

I have no problems as well,seems like some kind of adware/malware.

It could be one of the extensions you use.

So what is the issue and how is it a flaw in the forums?

idk, that's why i posted it here, since you know, it happened on the forum while trying to use its features. maybe a bug, maybe not, just reporting a bug, if i knew how it was a flaw, i wouldn't have posted it here would i?

It looks like you somehow clicked the button in the code dialog even though the code dialog wasn't showing. That's really weird, and I'm not sure why that would happen... Did it just happen once, or has it happened before/since?

First time this has happened, wouldn't have posted really but it was odd that it redirected to another website, that too it triggered after i pressed the spoiler and entered the chat box, hasn't happened since.
