Mismatch between blue notification circle and notification panel

+2
−0

When I read the target of a notification in another tab, and then switch to a tab that still has the notification circle showing, opening the notification panel shows the notification as read, but the notification circle remains:

Blue notification circle showing even though the notification is read

This discrepancy is corrected the next time I refresh the page or follow a link to a different page, but is misleading up until that point.

Since the notification in the notification panel shows as read, this has clearly already been updated, so this seems like an opportunity to update the blue notification circle at the same time.

I am. Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open this page in 2 tabs.
  2. Mark your top notification as unread.
  3. Close the notification panel and see the blue notification circle.
  4. Switch to the other tab and click on the unread notification.
  5. Switch back to the first tab and see the blue notification circle.
  6. Open the notifications panel and see the top notification switch back to read, but the blue notification circle remains.

Somewhere in trying to work out the steps to reproduce this I also ended up with a blue notification circle with a zero in it, but I haven't been able to make that happen again.

Oh, I see now -- thanks! In step 6, the notification initially loads as unread and then switches to read.

I saw the "0" briefly in the second tab after marking the notification as read.

At some point I got a persistent zero (persisting until I manually refreshed the page) but haven't seen it since
