Why the notification level for a «category definition» topic is «Tracking» instead of «Watching» for its creator?

I can’t reproduce this. What are the exact reproduction steps?

Here is what I did.

  1. First make sure the category I post in isn’t in the Watching/Tracking/Muted sections on User Preferences
  2. Post a new topic in the category
  3. Notification Level was set to Watching
  4. Refresh the page, still set to Watching
  5. Leave and come back, still set to Watching
  6. Reply to the topic, still set to Watching

I’m unsure how you are getting it set to Tracking at this point.
