Possible bug in hyperlinks to OP from within thread replies

Please bear with me as I try to explain this. This is using Skinner mode on a laptop running Windows 10 with Firefox as the browser.

For example, take a post in the United Kingdom forum: David Cameron back in UK government as foreign secretary - Braverman out, Cleverly replaces her as home secretary. If I click on the OP title from within one of the replies to a post of mine (accessed from my "Posts" readout) at https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1088&pid=22617 it takes me to the URL https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1088&pid=22612 with the folder structure at the top reading
Latest Discussions»Region Forums»United Kingdom»David Cameron back in UK ...»Reply #0

Try clicking on the link David Cameron back in UK ... within that folder structure, and on my setup at least, it takes me to a totally different OP: Recommend an online radio station at https://www.democraticunderground.com/10882

I think I've noticed similar things happening in some other threads where I'd checked out replies to me, but I thought I must have misclicked or something.

1. It does that for me too, but I never click those links there

I just click on the links in the hierarchical structure of all the reply titles and posters. Never had a problem there.

2. That's a weird truncation...

The "view all" link:
https://www.democraticunderground.com/108822612

The link in the 'breadcrumbs' :
