I apologise if this has been covered before, I’ve looked but I have not seen this talked about. It has been happening since as long as I can remember.
Read to bottom of topic
Type a reply and as soon as you finish and click “Reply” immediately return to the main list of topics.
The user is given the notification that there is a new/updated topic at the top.
When user clicks that item the the topic list is refreshed but there are no new notifications next to any topic.
(also works when submitting a new topic)
I am using Chrome, and we are on the latest version of Discourse 1.4b3 (although it has happened consistently through several versions). As such I’m not sure it classifies as a “bug” but it can be confusing to users.
I’ve seen that more than I would like to in the past few months. This is even easier to reproduce when you close a topic and then go back to the topics list. The automated message that is posted on your behalf should not generate a notification.
I think it is worth fixing, but its a bit tricky to fix, after you reply we got to poison the “back” cache. But then … the issue is that we still got to maintain scroll position, so its tricky … cc @eviltrout
I see it all the time because I open the topic in another tab. After I’ve posted a reply and closed the tab so that I’m back at the list, there’s the notification.
While it may be confusing, I consider it to be WAD (Working As Designed).
I do, every time. I answer a lot of topics, so the typical workflow is to enter a topic, read to the end, write and post a reply, hit the logo in the top left to go back to the topic list. Then get the “1 new or updated”, every time.
Aaaand just like that, I saw the flash here on meta after my last post. I don’t think I did anything different than what I’ve done in the past, but sure enough, I flashed myself.
Это иногда случается с Hub/iPad — наверное, каждый десятый раз, когда я пишу здесь. Но так как я не особо активен, я не реагировал — в любом случае это исчезнет через некоторое время.
Но… я сталкивался с этим только здесь. Ни на своей собственной установке, ни на других форумах, где я делаю больше, чем просто наблюдаю. Так что мой очень необразованный догадка — это связано с нагрузкой, пиковым временем или чем-то ещё, когда происходит слишком много вещей одновременно. Или это просто иногда случается
Также возможно, что я просто говорю о похожем, но совершенно другом инциденте, чем все остальные.
