Describe your issue

The first image illustrates the problem where I want to reply to a message that was sent in response to my initial message. However, instead of replying to their message, I'm inadvertently responding to my own message, even though I clicked on their reply.

The second image shows me on Twitch in the dashboard, where I click on the reply from someone who responded to me, and it works perfectly there. The issue is that if I accidentally respond to myself, the intended recipients don't get notified about my response.

I'm inadvertently responding to my own message, even though I clicked on their reply.

You are replying to the thread that message is in, not a message. Reply threads just work this way on twitch. Pretty sure even webchat does it this way. We could technically change it to reply to every message creating a new thread each time, not sure how it will work with our threads gui implementation.

The issue is that if I accidentally respond to myself, the intended recipients don't get notified about my response.

When it comes to Chatterino users, if you reply in a thread all replies to the thread will be highlighted for you. You can change reply threads notifications for yourself in the highlight settings.

If you want to create a new reply thread you can do that from the right click menu using the Reply to message option (not Reply to original message)

The above comment comment would be correct from Aug 2022 - Nov 2023 but is no longer the case.

We already do reply to the message you intend to reply to, but you have to click the Reply to message button, if you click the Reply to original thread button, you will reply to the original message at the top of the thread.

First reply from me was from clicking Reply to message on magichackbot's message, the second reply came from clicking Reply to original thread on pajbot's message

As mentioned in combination with myself and mm2pl, what you've reported is not an issue just how reply thread popups have to work, if you want to reply directly to a message, right-click it and use the normal input box to send your reply.
