I can reproduce this on Meta (team, feel free to impersonate my account to see).
If a topic ends with an assign/unassign or a whisper, the dismiss button on the unread tab doesn’t clear it.
@martin can you add this to your list

@awesomerobot I was able to reproduce this bug locally and fix when a whisper was the last post in a topic, however if an assign/unassign last action the Unread tab was clearing fine. To try and reproduce I:
- Created a topic as one user
- Watched as another
- Assigned the topic as the first user
- Went to the Unread tab as the second user (where the topic came up as unread)
- Clicked the Dismiss… button and confirmed the modal
All of the unread items were then cleared. However if I did the same actions except replacing step 3. with creating a whispered reply, I ran into the bug and the Unread list would not clear. Was there anything else I would need to do to reproduce the assigning/unassigning part of this? If not I’ll just get up the fix I have

Hmm, not sure… I just went to clear my unreads again and more of them cleared out … but a few are still lingering. Maybe assign was a red herring.
I can’t consistently reproduce this, so maybe there’s nothing else to be done at the moment.

Thanks for that, I will just push up the change to ensure the unread topics are dismissed if a whisper is the last post
