"I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure the old inbox did this too" it did, yes.

But the old inbox marked things as dealt with if you had opened the inbox and chosen not to do anything about them, so a spurious notification (or an uninteresting one) cost no extra time beyond viewing it in the drop-down and then clicking away. That was the correct behaviour; the new inbox doesn't respect my choice to ignore something.

@kaya3 100%. I'd prefer the old functionality where it'd go away much easier. however, I'm pretty sure there's next to no chance we'll get that back. so... maybe we can instead get it to just ping us less for things we've obviously already seen to lessen the interruption.
