Hmm, I still don’t understand. Isn’t that what I just tried?

> A topic marked as solution

I chose this topic that was marked as solved [`personal_messages:username` search filter doesn't work](https://meta.discourse.org/t/personal-messages-username-search-filter-doesnt-work/371848)

> which is moved out of a category with solutions

I moved it to #Contribute > Feature where solutions are not enabled

> remains marked as solution (and cannot be unchecked as such)

And it was still marked as solved. What did the fix change in this process?
