Yesterday, I was commenting on a post, and another user named Chris was also commenting. I came back on a while later, and I had a notification on the question. I went to check the question and saw that the original poster had replied in a comment, but used @Chris
as the user they were pointing the comment to.
Should I have been notified for this? Or was there some logic confusion between my name (christiandev) and the other users' name (Chris)?
@
and have exact matches trump partial matches. Otherwise if Chris comments before christiandev there is no way they can be notified.@
reply semantics - then that situation would become undefined behavior and you'd get a unicorn when attempting to post the comment.@Chris
first matches "christiandev" in reverse chronological order (and there's no way to explicitly select "Chris" in this case), the auto complete does suggest otherwise.
