1. Yes, thread display is local and does not get rid of the chronological view.
2. People in DESC and [here](https://community.lsst.org/t/how-do-i-comment-on-a-reply-rather-than-appending-to-the-thread/136/3?u=ktl) have expressed annoyance at this.
3. Some find that this makes following the conversation confusing; others like it.
4. It is exactly as [the designer of Discourse has said he prefers it](https://meta.discourse.org/t/threaded-vs-flat-discourses-way-of-handling-responses-is-genius-but-i-have-one-small-suggestion/4053/44), so it’s not a bug as such.
5. Because of #4, I suspect that this is quite hard to change.
