We’re running 2.4.0.beta11 (cf0c6d5761). Topic muting is completely broken for us.

When I mute a topic in a category that is not muted:

 ![ScreenShot 2020-02-21 at 2.40.36 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/c/7/c75a8033ab53f782104a722ce364462f63dc22e3.png)

It appears to work:

But then when I refresh the page with F5, the mute is gone, and it still shows up in the Latest view.

Is this a known bug? We haven’t changed our configuration recently, although we do update fairly regularly and are on the very latest version as of today.

Yes I can repro. It’s very unexpected. It seems to happen only on muted from the timeline, muted from under a topic seems to work, and other actions work. It’s the same component. Digging, will probably have a fix shortly.

Ok, fixed, good catch, thanks!

This should fix it and add more tests to prevent future regression on this topic timeline button.

Waiting for tests and will merge it.

Thanks, appreciate if you could give a heads-up when it’s merged so we can update, had a bunch of users complaining about this.

This is merged and in tests-passed.

Let me know how it goes for you, I’m online few more hours and can fix more if needed.
