Liferea 1.8.3 in Ubuntu 12.04 does not highlight "Unread" search folder

[SuperEngineer]

Liferea 1.8.3 in Ubuntu 12.04 does not highlight the "Unread" search folder when unread items exist. The search folder shows accurate number of unread items but folder title stays in normal type instead of bold type - the accepted norm througout the other folders in Liferea [& the unread folder itself in previous versions].

This fault remains after deleting the exising search folder, recreating & restarting.

Temopary fix [workaround]:

1/ read [or mark as read] all items [markmfolder holding them as read]
2/ delete & recreate the Unread folder [maybe using option "rebuild" would do?]
3/ create your own top level folder & move all other folders into it.
4/ the top level folder now works as the "Unread" should be working!

voila - [appears to be] working ;)

The debian bug is marked as fixed in 1.10rc1, liferea/1.10~rc4-1, that should be in trusty onward.
If this is not the case please reopen the bug.
