Category Icons are doing wut?
-
So, the category icon seen within topics is stuck at whatever the category was since the last time I refreshed. I've tried refreshing a few times and it keeps happening, so I'm not sure what's going on.
In addition, each additional topic after the first adds it's category as a mini-icon at the bottom of the topic header. These mini-icons don't ever get removed from the header, even when in, say, the Unread view.
Here's a screencap taken after visiting a bug topic, two meta topics, and a Self-Serve Mafia topic:

it looks like my browser is accidentally rendering random parts of VRAM to the screen

I had this. I managed to get the existing list to go away with a hard-refresh (Shift-Refresh), but I'm curious as to why it's happening to begin with.

@e4tmyl33t They implemented return-to-category icons and got some minor detail wrong, most likely.

I'm confused. Did the breadcrumb/topic title thing not already have a category icon thing next to it that linked back there?
I honestly don't remember, I don't pay attention to much category-wise. The only time I ever realize I'm in a particular category is when I'm in the Lounge, and it's rather obvious.

Also, now I'm curious as to whether I can make a little picture-sentence of any level of hilariousness with this bug...

@e4tmyl33t Go for it! :D

Also, it can't seem to decide which category the topics are in...

The icon was added in the previous update, but it was just the icon, no link. The link was part of the most recent update, which also introduced what we're seeing now.

Yeah, it can. If there are any small icons, the one at the far right is the current category. If there are no small icons, then the large one is the current category. Once you enter a topic, none of the icons ever change. So, since your last refresh, you entered topics in the following categories:
- Bugs
- General

- General
- Meta

- Funny Stuff

@abarker several of those repetitions were me navigating pages in the same thread, because I'm in paginated mode.
