With a bit of effort, you can even do this:  I think the code that shows the notification count draws the notification "container" (the blue circle) once, and then just updates the number from some data value. Only when you close and reopen the notifications, or refresh, or move to another page, does the whole thing get rebuilt again. I am not wise in the ways of front-end code, but I can see the logic here. We *could* write some extra code to remove the blue circle entirely instead of showing "0", but "0" isn't wrong either. (-1 is wrong but my own fault for provoking it.) The first time I saw the "0" I actually smiled; I wasn't expecting it but it seemed like a reasonable thing to have happen. Can I persuade you that what you see as a bug is instead a charming quirk, maybe even an Easter egg?
