SYNOPSIS:
thread searching end, returns to first unread article.
DESCRIPTION:
This isn't really a bug, but a matter of opinion. Generally when I read a group, I skip over articles whose subject lines show the article is uninteresting. When I find a thread which is interesting, I begin reading it thoroughly to exhaustion. When I have exhausted the subject, I would like the pointer to return to the first occourance of the thread and not to the first unread article. This is because I have already looked at all of the subject lines before the first occourence of the interesting subject. It takes time to find this first occurence, which is kind of inconvenient.
REPEAT BY:
No error, just find a random article in the middle of a large newsgroup, subject search to exhaustion, and find yourself put to a place far away from where you started. Make sure that there are unread articles before the article whose subject you begin subject searching.
SAMPLE FIX:
I have no idea what you are looking for here.
