Comment minimization is nice, but probably not a good interface in terms of great UX design, it seems janky and 'visible / not visible' doesn't necessarily describe the way I'd want to interact with a comment. Minimizing for navigation at the moment isn't necessarily minimizing for later viewing, doing it manually is annoying, and minimizing for later viewing isn't necessarily the action I'd want to take (especially if there are new comments under the minimized one later).

Anyway, bug report: if you minimize a comment and then a reply to a comment you made under it occurs, the reply DM is also minimized.

We've actually had a bunch of people explicitly ask for it because that's how they handle deciding a conversation is no longer interesting; just minimize it and it goes away. I agree this isn't a use-case that I want but it seems to be quite popular.

Can you give a suggestion regarding how you would want it to behave?

Hah! Totally believable. Bug filed.

I think I misspoke on what the bug is. If you minimize one of your own comments, and then someone replies to it, in the notifications view your comment (and thus the reply under it) are minimized, as opposed if you minimized any grandparent/parent of your comment.
