Thanks for reporting this!
Can confirm this issue.

I'm not sure what the best fix would be.
We could simply exit threaded mode when editing a toot, or keep track of the last toot in threaded mode and continue from there, but would would require additional code changes.

We could simply exit threaded mode when editing a toot,

What I would call "unexpected behavior" (or unintuitive)

or keep track of the last toot in threaded mode and continue from there, but would would require additional code changes.

That makes the most sense to me and would be what I expect.
