"Headless" threads do not show in the client sidebar

Open mkdir-washington-edu opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

What is the issue? Right now the behaviors are - Reply to a deleted reply:

  • The deleted reply is replaced by "Message not available."
  • The reply to the deleted reply is still available in the client sidebar.

Reply to a deleted top-level annotation:

  • The deleted top-level annotation is not visible
  • The reply to the deleted top-level annotation is not visible in the client sidebar.

We should make these behaviors the same. Particularly for users who have replied to a now-deleted top-level annotation, their comments and thoughts are no longer available to themselves or other users. To solve these issues, we could make the behavior of replies to deleted top-level annotations match the current behavior we use for a reply to a deleted reply.

To Reproduce this behavior

  1. Create a top-level annotation.
  2. Create a reply to the top-level annotation
  3. Create a reply to the reply
  4. Delete the reply to the top-level annotation. Note that the reply to the reply is still available on the page.
  5. Delete the top-level annotation. Note that the whole thread disappears.
