Bug Description
Reference to Github issue: https:/
When RSS Guard fetches an article that was already downloaded previously, but has been updated on the server and if the article is in focus, then the unread messages counter in the system tray will increment and immediately decrement, perhaps due to the fact that the article is in focus and it is being automatically marked as read even if the user did not see the updated article.
This happens even if the RSS Guard is minimized into system tray.
It does not happen if the article is not in focus. In this case the RSS Guard correctly marks the article as unread and increments the counter of unread items and it keeps its value until user opens the article to see the update.
1) OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
2) Package: rssguard 4.0.4+dfsg-1
3) What you expected to happen: When RSS Guard downloads an updated article (its content was modified on the server) the unread messages counter incrementing and showing the number of unread items including the newly downloaded updated article.
4) What happened instead: The unread messages counter incremented (showed 1) and then immediately decremented to 0 (disappeared) without user's interaction.
This problem has been fixed by the maintainer in master branch. I picked the relevant changes and made a patch.
