The catalog Red Asterisk for new items won’t go away. It keeps indicating new items in the Home Catalog in the “Buy” section even though there are no new items and no indicator on any of the items in the subcategories. 

I think this started after I gained or started the Internet Icon Hobby 

 

It’s not a severe bug, but a bit annoying.

I have this issue as well, and might have some possible suspicions about why it's happening. When I initially bought the first hobby "item" for the Internet hobby, I declined to place "it" and let it go into Storage. When I then wanted to place it later, due to the abysmal functions of finding something in Storage, I went to place it from the Buy Menu, aaaaaand... it said 0/1 on the hobby item. Digging through storage to try and find out if I had lost them somehow, no: turns out, computer, chair, and table are all separate items, and weren't counting for 1/1 on the Buy Menu. I did want to get 1/1, so I bought yet another one (set) from that menu, placed it, and after the fact, it said I had 2/1, which shouldn't have been possible.

 

The "new item" indicator, I suspect it has something to do with the fact that the items are a set, and only count together as a set, and you haven't been able to "see" all three of them yet unless you buy and place them. If that doesn't sort it out, then I'm not sure what else is necessary, but it's got to be something to do with this nature of them.

 

edit: Can confirm that buying the new "set" does away with the new item notification, even if viewing it initially in the Buy Menu does not.

I get a red notification when new items unlock. I go to view the item(s), then return to what I was doing. The red notification stays on.

Re: Red Notification for new items stay on

I don't have it, doesn't mean it's not an issue though.

 

Could you make sure you don't have the red dot anywhere else? Maybe the rewards?

I checked, it's only for home and work (I added a screenshot of my work items to clarify. The red dot is there, but not for anything from work items)

@Ranger_Romer hoped it wasn't this bug, but it seems to be. Could you see if the suggestion of @Srenti helps any?

Whoa... So what I did, since my internet hobby showed a 1/1 for the initial set, so I placed it in storage, and now the red dot is gone. So it was that bug.

I had something similar happen, but the red notification stayed on when the second set from the internet hobby was unlocked. Since I had a 1/1 for the initial set, I placed it in storage and now the red dot is gone.
