[Bug/Suggestion] Commenting then returning to that board marks own comment as "New"

I noticed this when I responded to someone's discussion in the Misc board a few minutes ago.

I commented on the discussion and then to return to the overall board I clicked on it from the left nav. Whenever I started scrolling through the discussion list again I saw a "New" marker on the discussion I just commented on. Thinking someone else commented while I was typing mine I clicked the "New" marker only to be taken back to my comment. This isn't the most intuitive behavior and can most likely be counted as a bug. The expected behavior would be if only new comments that aren't yours generate the "New" mark.

Reproduction Steps:

  1. Comment on a discussion
  2. Click the board in the left nav to return to the discussion list for that board
  3. Scroll until you find the discussion you commented on
  4. Notice a new marker, click it
  5. Find you are likely taken back to your comment

Note: In the event that someone does actually comment after you and they take the new marker from you, then you may have to try again.

Let me know if you guys can produce this issue.

Hey! Thanks for the post and really appreciate the steps to reproduce, more helpful than you'd think. I'll pass this on to the devs.

Yes, this is something I notice reasonably frequently.

That being said, it didn't happen this time (I just tried your repro steps).
