Notifying members when a Tracked or Watched topic is solved

When a member of your community is Tracking or Watching a topic in a support category (using the Discourse Solved plugin), they will receive a notification when that topic is marked as solved. This makes it easier for members to get answers to questions without having to check in on the topic manually or create a duplicate question topic.

The member who marks the solution will not receive this notification.

We’ve also updated the descriptions from Tracking and Watching in these topics, so members know what to expect:

If you don’t want to be notified when a topic that you’re Tracking or Watching is solved, you can disable this in your notification preferences:

Thank you for the explanation of this new/changed notification!

I have a question or maybe a bug report on this new feature. I am a regular in a forum that is running the Discourse version v2026.4.0-latest where it seems this feature was introduced.
If I disable this notification I even don’t get notifications for post of me that are marked as solution by other users. In former versions I got notifications for posts from me that got marked as solution.
So my question: is it by purpose that also my own solution posts don’t get notified to me any more if I disable this or is this a bug? Or is there any chance to have two possibilities for a notification, once for my own solution posts and second like it is now?
Thanks in advance!
