I’m not sure if this is an actual bug (regression): When I go to the Latest tab and see topics with unread posts in it, I usually open them in a new browser tab.

The unread count on the Latest page doesn’t change until I refresh the page. Is this my imagination or did those unread indicators disappear without refreshing the page up until recently?

Edit: Looks like I imagined this previous behaviour. Let’s call it a feature request then. 😄
