    Description

      Issue Summary

      Even though I've disabled Email Settings -> Autowatch, Confluence Cloud still automatically watches pages that I comment on.

      Description of this setting: "Pages and blog posts that you create, edit or comment on will automatically be watched for future changes." ..so I expect that commenting shouldn't trigger auto-watch when this setting is disabled.

      This is reproducible on Data Center: Not sure

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Unwatch a page
      2. Comment on it
      3. Page gets re-watched automatically

      Expected Results

      (3) should be n/a, i.e. Watch status should change as a result of commenting

      Actual Results

      (3) as stated above

      Workaround

      As a workaround for now, before clicking on Save when finishing the comment, uncheck the option "Watch this Page".
