edited comment notifications in the DW inbox

Title:
edited comment notifications in the DW inbox

Area:
comments

Summary:
When a comment is edited the original notification in the inbox changes and also shows the edited version, but you still get a new notification with the edited comment. So basically you get duplicates with no value. I think that should be changed, so that only one notification with the edited comment is there.

Description:
With the email version of the notifications it makes sense that you get two, because one shows the old comment, the second the edited one, so you can see the edit. But in the DW inbox the notification reflects the current state of the comment (or entry), so the first notification itself is edited and changed to say "edited comment by" exactly the same as the second one.

So if the first is already updated the second is superfluous clutter. I don't think there would be any drawbacks to not having two of the same.

*ponder* Maybe the old notification could be modified to contain a "diff" (just an indicator of what changed), whist the latest one points to the latest actual content?
