Notifications - there are x new posts shows incorrect number and when clicked, page scrolls to wrong post

For the last couple of days I have noticed some odd behaviour with the Notifications page, this is on the website not the app. I'm using Chrome on a Macbook. The page says (e.g.) "There are 6 new posts on a thread you're on...(name of thread)" but when I click the notification to go to the thread there are only 3 new messages and the thread scrolls to a post that is after the first one I haven't read so I have to scroll up a bit to find the first unread one.

I think this is only happening with "threads you're on" not "threads you're watching".

Hi @formigas,

Thanks for flagging. We'll take a look into it and let you know what we find.

Thanks for your patience!

Hi @formigas,

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. We're still looking into this, but in the meantime, would it be possible for you to share with us a link to the thread where you're having this issue? Thank you!

This one was doing it, although there haven't been many posts on it in the last couple of days and I think it behaved itself yesterday:

Also noticed this morning, this one (which I don't think I have posted on unlike the above one) didn't scroll to the first unread post and I think the count in the notifications page was incorrect too:
