Not a new issue - I believe it has happened on every version of Drupal we have used so far.

It seems Drupal marks all comments as read once you've visited the node, regardless of whether they were on the first page or not.

Yep, known Drupal problem; hopefully it will be fixed some day (but I would not hold my breath). In the meantime, I have increased the number of comments displayed per page to reduce the likelihood of this happening.

Not sure if this is still a bug, but it's not something we are likely going to fix. Maybe Drupal will fix it in the future, or we'll migrate to a different CMS entirely.

The only other option I can think of is to not page the comments whatsoever, allowing an infinite number to load per page.
