i can't reproduce this in linux trunk 2002040422

is this a problem with recent builds or 0.9.9?

Confirm for 1.0rc1 build 2002041711 on Win2K.
Always reproducible with reported steps.

Addition: 1. not only green arrow is not removed, but also underline is not
removed. And expanding and collapsing thread removes both arrow and underline.
2. It happens not only in newsgroups but also in usual mail folders.

I'm also using the Mozilla release candidate 1 (build 2002041711) on win2k and I
CANNOT reproduce the bug. Could it be be because I've applied a theme (Pinball)
and reapplied the Classic one after?
I've interpreted the step 3 as:
3. expand the unread thread and click on one message. Then select in the menu: 
Message|Mark|Thread as read R

Once again, that removes correctly the green dots, the green arrow and the
boldness of ALL the articles of the thread. No problem for me.

Using Linux, the green arrow goes away, as soon as I highlight the thread (click
on it or come to it by any other means.

Can you still reproduce the problem with a current version?

Sorry for not answering quickly.

Yes, it still happens with 1.0 release. Still always reproducible.
Yes, it still happens with 1.1a. 

Some notes:
- after pressing R, green arrow and underline are not removed;
- after Message|Mark|Thread as read, window is repainted only where was menu,
the rest is not. Therefore, it seems that area under menu is invalidated and
correctly repainted, and the area showing thread is not invalidated. Sometimes
they intersect and underline is broken.

And I'm still using Win2K machine and modern skin in Mozilla. But it is a clean
install of Mozilla, as I had Windows installation crash and had to reinstall
everything.

OK, so it works on Linux as I tested myself. Some people see it on Windows. Also
in dupe bug 116898. So I'll mark it NEW.

menu.

I don't understand. The thread with the green arrow is not highlighted. So how
did you apply "mark thread as read"?

What is CTRL-ALT-C supposed to do? I don't find it.

So what you are seeing is different from the original report. The green arrow
does go away. Only the screen is not properly refreshed.

Comment 13

[Mikhail Sogrine]

Sorry, it was Ctrl-Shift-C that is 'Mark all messages as read'.

I could not make screenshots after steps described in initial report or comment
#4, because any further clicks (inside Mozilla window or outside) cause repaints
of the  area of current selection and green arrow and underline are removed. 

However, if selecting some other thread and marking all messages as read
(Ctrl-Shift-C or using menu), the same problem exists and bad area is not
repainted if clicking outside Mozilla window.

Comment 14

[Boris 'pi' Piwinger]

So it is clear it is only a problem of repainting the area.

It could be a dupe of bug 74835, but this has a summary which I don't
understand. Please see, if this is the problem.

Everybody else: Do you also see exactly this problem?

comment to #12

this bug IS a REFRESH problem.
Nothing more. This is at least
what a reported in 116898

The green arrow is not removed, but if you
manage to force a repaint of the window,
the green arrow will disappear.

The bug is probably that the code fail to
cause a repaint of the "top thread" when
an "inner" thread is changed to the "read"
state
