Could it be, Bevy is finally fixing this extremely frustrating problem?
Summary: gurlcat mentions experiencing a new feature where replies in notifications are shown with context, encased in a light tan cartouche, but notes this only happened twice and requests an update on the fix status. mam98031, annadryl, and adamcartwright express hope for a permanent fix, emphasizing the importance of context. devon@ebay promises to address this issue in an upcoming meeting. gurlcat further describes glitches they encounter when clicking notifications, providing detailed feedback to help with troubleshooting.
EDIT Mon. Sept 28th. IT REALLY IS FIXED NOW, YAYYYYYY!!!! THANK YOU BEVY, this will really be a big time-saver for us!!
Twice today (but only twice, and seemingly randomly) when I clicked on notifications saying someone replied to me, it went to the WHOLE post page, and indicated which reply it was for by showing it encased in a light tan/cream cartouche. YES!!!! This is exactly what it should do, not show the reply completely isolated on a page by itself so you can't tell what the person was replying TO!!
But I don't get why I've seen it only twice, with all the other times before and after being the frustrating 'isolated' kind. @devon@ebay can you please ask for an update on the status of this fix?

Hey @gurlcat ! We will be sure to bring this up in our meeting with Bevy this week.

OP1 week ago · EditedOMG yes, please and thank you! @devon@ebay
If it's useful at all, whenever I click on a notification, a small window (white text on black rectangle background) shoots in sideways from the top-right corner of the screen, but it disappears too fast to read it. But I know the top line reads "We're having a problem".
Another thing happens then: for just a moment I can see the new reply on the 'whole page', under the comment it replied to, but just like the black slide-in window, it's for just a second, then it goes to that isolation page with nothing but the reply and a link above it to "See all comments." -If that link would at least go to the full comment page and auto-scroll to where the reply is, that would be great! It would be even better if it went there in the first place, but anything would be better than having to scroll and hunt through dozens of comment threads, trying to find it.
EDIT: Forgot to say, I don't know if everybody sees these^ exact things, just reporting what I see. I'm on a laptop using Firefox browser, if that's helpful.

They've gotta know that, as with everything in life, context is key.
