Bug: when cycling through ‘filtered’ revisions (meaning there are more revisions that don’t lead to the highlighted idea), the criticism badge can change count for the same revision.

Any filtered idea should always display only the count of shown criticisms.

That could mislead people into thinking a revision has no pending criticisms, which would be bad for error correction.

The instructions at the top of the page are clear that not all ideas are being rendered.

People could easily miss or forget that.

For all ideas, the total number of pending criticisms (if any) should always be shown, even if they are not all being rendered.

If no criticisms are being displayed, yet the label says an idea has n pending criticisms, that might confuse people. More generally, any mismatch between rendered vs counted criticisms could confuse people.

See #1992: “The instructions at the top of the page are clear that not all ideas are being rendered.”

Any filtered ideas should show a criticism label displaying n / m for the count, where n is the number of rendered criticisms and m is the number of total criticisms.

An explanation could accompany the n / m display, like a title on hover.

That way, there should never be any confusion as to a mismatch between the total vs rendered number of pending criticisms.

In addition, when looking at a deeply nested idea on ideas#show and submitting a criticism on a parent, I need to make sure the updated badges take into account that newly submitted criticism, even though the new criticism would not show after refreshing the page.
