When I set a category to ‘watching’ and do a refresh then the ‘watching’ stays visible. But when I go e.g. to the root and revisit the same category then I see my previous status ‘Regular’, which is confusing or even a bug?

I can reproduce this problem here in meta too. Or is this expected somehow?

Hmmm, I just tried on [http://try.discourse.org](http://try.discourse.org) and it works just fine.

Does not work for chromium there too.

My steps:

- Going to [discourse - Discourse Demo](http://try.discourse.org/c/discourse)
- set ‘watching’
- clicking on discourse logo ([http://try.discourse.org/](http://try.discourse.org/))
- click on categories
- click on discourse and see that ‘regular’ is selected instead of expected ‘watching’
