Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
This happens only in case of an NNTP server. Suppose my NNTP server is
checked for new messages for every one minute, then after reading a
message (and marking it as read), the newgroup is again showed with one
unread message after the next fetch and until the next-to-next fetch.
Here are the steps elaborated,
Steps to reproduce
- Have NNTP server configured in evolution that is accessed for new messages in
every minute.
- Have a newsgroup with all read messages
- Get a new message posted to the above newsgroup (maybe through different
user/machine).
- After one minute the message should appear in the evolution under the above
newsgroup (this is indicated by making the newsgroup name as BOLD and putting
"(1)" text against it)
- Click on the above newsgroup on LHS pane and highlight the new message so
that it will be marked as read
- The above action will un-bold the newsgroup name and remove the "(1)" text
- Wait for a minute for evolution to contact the NNTP server again
Expected result
- The newsgroup name in LHS pane should remain in regular text (i.e. not bold)
unless any new messages are posted
Actual result
- The newsgroup name is made bold with "(1)" text against it. However, no new
messages are seen on the RHS pane (messages list)
- This phenomenon is observed for different number of messages as well (e.g. if
originally 10 messages then "(10)" will reappear after a minute even if they
are marked as read)
- If you wait for another fetch cycle, then the newsgroup name returns back to
regular text and the "(1)" string vanishes
So the time line can be,
0 minutes: newsgroup with no messages, post test message into the news group
1 minutes: evolution fetches the new message, newsgroup name marked in bold and
the "(1)" string shown against it. Mark the message as read so that newsgroup
name is marked in regular and the "(1)" text vanishes
2 minutes: evolution contacts the NNTP server and didn't get any message.
However newsgroup name marked in bold and the "(1)" string shown against the
name. Here mark "all messages as read" function doesn't work and the name
remains in bold with "(1)" string
3 minutes: evolution contacts the NNTP server and didn't get any message.
Newsgroup name is marked in regular and the "(1)" text vanishes
