when a user submits a new comment they see a "new" indicator. From a UX standpoint that doesn't make sense since the user doesn't need to get notified about his new comment.

Comment #1
bdu commentedThis reproduces on 7.10. I think I do see what you mean.
To reproduce:
Just add a comment, after submitting the node is shown with its comments. The new comment is indeed marked as new.
You could say the system is right as the comment is new is it was never shown to the user, but
on the other hand as it was written by the user he does not need this reminder. If this is a code defect
it is minor priority as this is something cosmetic, and no functionality is broken.

bdu commentedSetting back to normal priority as I learned that minor is not used very often.

Comment #5
xjmFound #1399896: testCommentNewCommentsIndicator() is inside CommentHelperCase and therefore gets run repeatedly in the process of looking into a test for this.
Comment #6
xjmInterestingly, I can reproduce this in both D7 and D8 HEAD manually (using bartik/standard profile), but when I tried to add a test for the same thing programmatically in
testCommentNewCommentsIndicator(), the new indicator did not appear.Comment #7
yoroy commentedDefinately minor, not sure this is a bug. What's wrong with a liitle congratulatory flag that sets your comment apart from the others? Mind that it says 'new', not 'unread'. I appreciate the attention to detail here, but tempted to mark this a won't fix.
Comment #8
Everett Zufelt commentedI agree with @yoroy.
In fact, the heading above the form I am filling in to post this comment says "Post new comment". I think it is reasonable that the comment be flagged as "New" the first time I view it.
