With quick filter/search for `Unread` messages, a message which has just turned read (automatically/manually) will remain in the result list until refreshing the filter (probably by design to allow reading)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/102.0
Steps to reproduce:
I filter messages by unread, and then mark a message in the list as read.
Actual results:
The message is still in the list. To refresh the list (i.e., remove the message) I need to manually disapply and reapply the filter.
Expected results:
The message should disappear from the list by itself, as it (the list) is filtered by unread.

This is happening as described, but I would assume it's by design. TB 78 and 91 have same behaviour.
Thunderbird defaults to a very short time (some seconds? or even instantly?) before automatically marking a message read. So you might use the quick filter to read through your unread messages, but certainly you wouldn't like it if they disappear after some secs/instantly while you are still reading it? That would make the unread filter totally useless as (auto-)marking read without a chance to read is pointless.
This is WONTFIX for me.
Maybe a pref, but not sure if it's worth it.
Or maybe we could allow the message to auto-disappear when it's read and you navigate away from it. We should definitely not hide the message already when it just turned read (automatically/manually), but user is still displaying/reading it.

Indeed, I agree with Thomas' analysis on this, thanks.

Thanks for the reply Thomas. Much appreciated!
If you don't mind me chiming in - I understand this explanation when messages are quickly marked as read with no user input. You make a good point.
My use case is a bit different, though. I am someone who unchecked "Automatically mark messages as read" in the general settings tab.
Which means for me emails only turn "read" when I take an active step (such as pressing "M").
So, having pressed "M", it seems odd to still see the message there despite the "Unread" filter being on. Not a huge issue - but does feel a bit off (at least to me).
Thanks either way :)

- I also agree that hiding the message once the user navigates away could be an elegant solution :)
