  1. The "New comments" counter seems to be browser-specific, not account-specific.

  2. Every time I resize the comment box on desktop it snaps back to the original size as soon as I start typing

The "New comments" counter seems to be browser-specific, not account-specific.

True, and I'm afraid this isn't likely to change anytime soon. Thread collapses are the same way, at least for now.

Hey, you're right, it does. That's annoying. Bug filed!

This is also a problem if you're ever logged out. You go to the site, it updates the new comments date, then you log in. The new comments shows you new comments since you last visited the site, which was a second ago when you visited before logging in, so there are no new comments.

Even if it can't track between browsers, it shouldn't update anything if you're not logged in.

Hmm. My gut feeling is that it should update if you're not logged in, just for the sake of people who are logged-out-browsing. But maybe it shouldn't update the same stuff; that is, each account, including "not logged in", should have its own independent status for what's new.

Does that make sense?

At this point, it's seemed to behave in inconsistent ways, and I no longer have any useful idea about what's going on. All I can say is that I have the problem.
