435056 - Google Reader unread accounting is wrong

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Dennis Sherod]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008051206 Firefox/3.0

The unread count shown for subscriptions is always a few higher than the actual number of unread articles.  When all articles have been read, several of the subscription will typically show (2) unread.  The "All" collector subscription will show the aggregate of unread articles, i.e. if four subscriptions show 3 unread each the All subscription will show 8 unread, although selecting the subscription will render no unread articles.

Refreash does not zero or otherwise change the counts.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Google Reader, create a subscription
2. Mark all articles as read
3. Note that the remaining unread count is not zero
Actual Results:  
The unread count does not match the number of unread articles

Expected Results:  
The count should be 0

I can confirm this on Trunk on Windows 7. I think it might be related to Bug 513082.
