Description:
In those two reports

http://bugs.mysql.com/?id=57709
http://bugs.mysql.com/?id=58028

.. I got a mail notification that the topic was updated.  I do not see any new content.  My best guess is that a MySQL person (in both actual cases it is  Shane) updated the topic with an internal comment, that I cannot see.  If there is nothing new for me to see I should not have a mail notification. It wastes my time and confuses me.

How to repeat:
see above.

Suggested fix:

It is annoying indeed. The intension of private comment was to prevent a notification completely. Made them public now, btw [was more like notes to self..]

HELP!!  This morning I had more than 50 such 'empty' notifications. I can only delete them all and I may miss a few that are not empty.

Please do something about it ASAP

the large number from earlier was due to a batch update of the dev lead, which is a private field..
