      2. Go to the user profile and uncheck the autowatch option.
      3. Go to a page and uncheck from watching the page (If you are watching the page)
      4. Add any attachment
      5. Check the watcher and you will be watching the issue

      Expected Results

      You are not added as the page watcher since autowatch is disabled
