Watchers added as part of an update do not receive update

[awilkins]

Reproduce :

• Open an existing ticket
• When updating ticket, add a watcher
• Send update

What happens :

• New watcher does not get a mail for the ticket update (even if his settings would say he should)

What should happen :

• New watcher gets an update email

Suspect this is down to the order this usually occurs in the web UI ; when using the web UI, adding watchers is a "Web 2.0" action ; the requests are sent to the server straight from the page before you push the button for the ticket update. The server side update code therefore probably doesn't account for watchers that were added to the ticket in the same update.

Suggested resolutions -

• Either send watcher updates separately, before ticket updates OR
• Petition the main Redmine project to fix this (even though it's not actually possible to replicate this with the web UI, it could be considered a fault in the REST API).
