I've been experiencing a strange issue with news, sometimes when i click on a
newsgroup, it shows the threads, and a thread is already collapsed, even while I
haven't even read that thread, it seems to do it quite randomly, in several
different newsgroups, I can't really find a pattern.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a newsgroup


Actual Results:  All threads should be closed or maybe threads that I left
collapsed previosly should be collapsed still.

Expected Results:  Threads that I haven't thouched before are sometimes collapsed.

If this happens with other people as well I figure it's quite a big bug cause
it's very annoying!

AFAIK, normally when you switch to a newsgroup it will be shown with *all*
threads collapsed with the only posssible exception for a thread with the first
new message. Are you seeing something different?

Arno, I don't understand this bug - news threads are collapsed (but threaded) by
default whenever I view a new newsgroup (as Aleksey mentioned).

What are your view settings?

sorry for the spam.  making bugzilla reflect reality as I'm not working on these bugs.  filter on FOOBARCHEESE to remove these in bulk.
