Do you see the full message BEFORE you hit Reply?

If so, at the point the message STOPS being quoted, what is in the
message?  

Any chance the sender included a line containing only "-- " (dash, dash,
space**)? This is the default signature separator after which no quoting
occurs.

** Note that the space is not visible!

Alternatively, have you changed your "Signature separator" (see
Configuration->Preferences for current account...->Compose) or in any
other account, if any, to something different and which happens to match
text in the message where the quoting stops?

Here, it sounds like only the first part is visible when reading.

BUT...  here you say "The full mail is visible"...  so partial quoting is
most likely due to a signature separator...  anything else would likely
be a bug.

The devs will need a sample message which causes the problem and what
your signature separator is set to...
