I received a notification saying that there's a new answer to my question:

But when I clicked it, I saw no answers. I can think of 2 possibilities about what happened:

1. There wasn't an answer and the notification was incorrectly sent
2. There was an answer but it was deleted before I clicked in the notification (and I guess I can't see deleted posts due to my low rep?)

In case 1, it's a bug.

In case 2, I'm not sure. It could be considered a bug, because there's no point in notifying me for something I can't see ("hey, there's a message for you, but you can't see it"). So perhaps the notification should be deleted (or there should be some indication that the answer was deleted, which would make the notification a little less confusing).
