Users reported an issue where bulk selection checkboxes remain visible on the homepage or /latest after being activated on /new or /unread pages, with no way to hide them without refreshing — unless using a staff account, which has a toggle button. ondrej illustrated the problem with screenshots, Don noted it’s a long-standing issue, and pmusaraj initially couldn’t reproduce it on meta. Don clarified the toggle is missing for regular users, forcing them to return to /new or /unread to disable bulk selection. pmusaraj confirmed a fix is in progress via GitHub PR #29984. The issue has been tagged as ‘fixed’.
Hello,
At the moment if you go to /new or /unread as a user you’ll have the choice to bulk select topics you want to dismiss as seen by image 1.

However, if you select bulk actions and then go back to the homepage the checkboxes are still visible and there isn’t a way for you to hide them again without refreshing the page.
Hello 
This is a pretty old one. 
Can you repro this on meta? Here I still see the bulk selection icon when I go back to the homepage or /latest, and if I click it, it toggles the checkboxes away.
With staff account it isn’t an issue because the toggle button is there. But regular user has not the toggle button on these pages. 
So the only way to disable it is go back to /new, / unread page and toggle off there.
Thanks for the followup. This should fix it: FIX: Correctly toggle bulk select checkboxes for regular users by pmusaraj · Pull Request #29984 · discourse/discourse · GitHub
