Comment 5 for bug 973761

The "Mark all read" and a subsequent "Rebuild" does work temporarily - until the next restart (of liferea) that is. A look into the DB shows, that all unread items are marked as comments and contain comments to feed items. I used sqliteman to peek into ~/.liferea_1.8/liferea.db:

SELECT * FROM items WHERE comment=1;
SELECT * FROM items WHERE read=0;

Both queries come up with the same items.

A newly created search folder _seems_ to solve the issue, although the rules are identical.
