Edit a category and then cancel immediately.  
If you followed category before editing, it will now show you aren’t following anymore.

`notification_level` is unset when the `category` object is serialized and transferred to the browser. Setting it in `categories_controller.rb` fixes the issue. Like so.

```plaintext
def show
    if Category.topic_create_allowed(guardian).where(id: @category.id).exists?
      @category.permission = CategoryGroup.permission_types[:full]
    end

-> @category.notification_level = CategoryUser.where(category: @category.id).first.notification_level**

    render_serialized(@category, CategorySerializer)`
end

```

@sam?

I’m reporting issues with pleasure, but unfortunately not able to fix them as I do not run dev instance of Discourse locally.
