I don’t know if this is one bug or two, but here are the steps to reproduce them. I’ve had to do it here instead of in [try.discourse.org](http://try.discourse.org) because filtered replies are not enabled there.
1. Go to [post #6 in this thread](https://meta.discourse.org/t/edits-not-being-stored-in-user-actions-table/145025/6), scroll to the bottom and click to see its 6 replies:
2. Scroll to the last post (number #25, which is a direct reply of #6) and click its link to post number #24:
Expected behavior: post #24 becomes visible (filters might or might not get removed)
Actual behavior: the page scrolls up and down, but #24 never appears
On to bug #2:
1. Click on View 6 hidden replies
2. Scroll down until you see post #24 and click its link to post #8
Expected behavior: [#8 appears](https://meta.discourse.org/t/edits-not-being-stored-in-user-actions-table/145025/8)
Actual behavior: [#7 appears](https://meta.discourse.org/t/edits-not-being-stored-in-user-actions-table/145025/7)

@pmusaraj If you have time, could you confirm if this is indeed a bug (or two) or if it’s the intended behavior? Maybe I’m misinterpreting something.

Yes, this looks one and the same bug. It’s a considerable edge case, it is quite rare to link to replies like in the example, but I will add this to my todo list.

A more common case is when the link is actually a @mention notification

Hmm, I’m not following, how would a mention link to a reply in the same post stream?

I used a link to make the example reproducible, but this was actually reported by a user who was seeing a filtered reply and received a mention on the same topic. When they clicked on the notification, they got the behavior I reported

This is fixed now @Nacho_Caballero via [DEV: Clear filters when navigating to a post (#12557) · discourse/discourse@524890c · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/524890c5e437b22c3505b7fbbc3df8acdbc431db)

That works perfectly! Thanks, Penar.
That took surprisingly little code to fix, but I don’t think I’d been able to figure it out on my own. 😅
