if you unfollow an issue you created, when it is updated, you end up following it again

Marked #1694568: Can't unfollow own issues as a duplicate

Are you sure you can't already do this? I thought I've successfully unfollowed my own issues before. What makes you think you can't?

Thanks,

p.s. If you're still *assigned* to the issue, there's code to automatically have you follow an issue you're assigned to -- that might be what's confusing you.

Rob: you didn't provide any more info, so why did you change the status?

Thanks,

I took an issue I created last night and clicked the unfollow button. That issue no longer appears in my dashboard "Your Post" block, nor does it appear in my /tracker/UID

Even when I assigned that issue to myself, and wasn't following, it wouldn't show up in my Dashboard.

I can't reproduce this. https://drupal.org/node/1487286 is an issue I created that was recently updated (I guess to delete a spam comment or something). It's around #9 on my tracker page. When I unfollow it, it disappears both from https://drupal.org/user/46549/track and from https://drupal.org/user/46549/dashboard. The only reason I can think of that it wouldn't be working for you is if the "Assigned" field on the issue is pointing to you, as I tried to explain in #4. Whenever an issue is updated, the currently-assigned user will automatically follow the issue, even if they manually tried to unfollow. So, if you want to unfollow something you posted, unassign yourself, first.

The only other thing I can think of would be some block caching thing that's hitting you, although it seems like I'd be seeing the same thing.

AFAICT this is all working exactly as expected. Further reinforced by Silverwing's comment.

Sorry, but I can't do anything with this issue unless there's more evidence about an actual problem with enough info to reproduce it. As this stands, it's all working as designed.

I have been trying for the last few months to unfollow this issue: http://drupal.org/node/504962
As you can see, it's not assigned to me. I got an update from it this morning (http://drupal.org/node/504962#comment-6498740) and so hit the 'Unfollow' button. Later, it reappeared on my dashboard with more updates (http://drupal.org/node/504962#comment-6498892).

The only thing I can suggest for helping others to reproduce and fix this is that maybe it's to do with the fact that I created the original issue back in 2009... Could that have something to do with the inability to unfollow? Could others try unfollowing issues they created before the unfollow button came about?

Let me know if there's any other information I can provide to help fix this.

#1792912: if you unfollow an issue you created, when it is updated, you end up following it again is also a duplicate, but more clearly explains the case where the bug is triggered. To reproduce:

1. Create an issue
2. Unfollow it
3. Get someone else to edit it

At this point, tracker2 thinks it needs to add that node back into its DB tables (which it does, since the update time has changed). However, at that point, there's code to re-flag it for you, since the update code isn't smart enough to only flag a node on update if the author changes. tracker2's flag integration makes the false assumption that every time something is getting added into the tracker tables, we should be flagging it for that user, too.

This will be fixed in the D7 port of d.o since tracker2 no longer exists, and there's a new flag_tracker module for the integration between flag and tracker, and I just saw this bug over there and fixed it as part of #1828658: Nodes are not auto-flagged when added to the tracker.

But, to fix this for the D6 version of d.o would require a patch to tracker2...
