Just noticed this today here on meta (though I might have no been paying enough attention previous days):
- Set a category to tracking
- Open a topic from /new from that category
- Observe its tracking state is “Normal”
- Previous behaviour was for this topic to now be “Tracking” - like the parent category
Not sure if this was intentional, but it smells like a regression to me.

I’ve been experiencing this too. @j.jaffeux is having a look.

@LeoMcA It should be working now, thanks for reporting.
