Unread does not update when articles marked unread

[Emmet Hikory]

Binary package hint: liferea

    The Unread search folder does not properly track user changes to unread status when made in the Unread search folder. The user may read articles, toggle the status to Unread, and have them both not appear in the Unread folder and not affect the Unread folder count, while being shown as Unread in the regular feed structure (including the Unread counts).

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Open liferea with a number of unread articles
2) View the Unread Search Folder
3) When viewing an article, mark that article as unread
4) Select a new article for preview in the Unread Search folder

Observed Results:
    The manipulated article disappears from the Unread view, while marked unread. The unread count of the affected feed and feed folder are updated, and the article returns to the Unread view if liferea is restarted. The Unread view unread count is decremented.

Expected Results:
    The manipulated item remains in the Unread view, marked unread. The unread counts of the affected feed, the feed folder, and the Unread folder are updated.

Thanks for your bug report

[Matthew Walton (launchpad-matthew-walton)]

This may or may not be the same bug, but the unread count in the application doesn't update when Liferea fetches updated feeds either. It does in the notification area icon's tooltip, and it does update once I've read one article, but it won't do it by itself.

This is one of several retrograde steps in Liferea's behaviour since Edgy.

Will be fixed in 1.4.3
