Here's how you edit a quote in the WYSIWYG post editor.

 

Start by placing your cursor where the red arrow is in the picture below. Drag upward. The key is to place the cursor outside the quote box that you're trying to eliminate. What's confusing is that your selection would look the same as it would have had you selected only the text inside the box.

You'll probably see a little extra white space at the top. Delete it.

Next, you'll want to edit to get the part of the quote you need. This time around, you'll want to place your cursor at the spot inside the quote box where you wish to start deleting.

Here's what it should look like when it's good to go.
