Seeing a blue 1-unread square despite all notifications being read
I logged on today and had 4 notifications. I marked them read individually in my (Firefox) browser tab, but the 'unread' count only went to 1, not 0. If I open a new tab - the unread count is 0 and the blue square is gone. If I follow the link to seeing all my posts - there is nothing in the unread category.
This seems to me like some kind of bug.
edit: Another related scenario: If, after clicking an unread inbox item, and seeing the unread count drop by one - I then press my browser's 'Back' button, I see the previous location with the old unread count. That in itself is not great, but tolerable; however, if I then reload the page - I still get the old unread count! That should not happen. And if I do this twice and go back twice - I'll get 2 above my new unread count, and again with no effect if I reload.
PS - We have both a 'notification' and a 'notifications' tag, I chose one arbitrarily.
