Hi Norbert!

During the last days I occasionally encountered a slightly nerving
behaviour of slrn. Sometimes, when I have finished reading the last
unread article in a group, after pressing <Space> twice slrn doesn't
skip to the next group. Instead, it asks me to press <n> to do that.

I was not yet able to reproduce the problem, but I have the impression
it correlates with downscored articles which are marked as read
automatically and displayed below the last article I read. I will try to
track that down further but wanted to make sure I didn't miss a feature
change or something like that. However, I couldn't find something like
that in the docs.

Jochen.

Hi again,

I was right in yesterday's report. You can reproduce the behaviour I
described by entering a group with no unread articles (Esc-1-Enter) and
then pressing space until the end of the (first) article is reached.
Then slrn asks to press <n> to go to the next group. If there is no
article marked as read below the one you are at, pressing <Space> twice
gets you to the next group as usual.
