When opening a previously visited topic, sometimes the number of unread posts is showing (even when not tracking the topic)

True. I have to say, I only noticed it on mobile and online when navigating back and forth quickly, before. Having it appear on Desktop is a new thing for me.

Also, I just had it happen even for a topic that I did not visit before:
