715300 - If a rss feed folder has more than 4k items thunderbird does not register "read" after closing

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

Description

[133794m3r]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:8.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0.1
Build ID: 20111120135848

Steps to reproduce:

I have a bunch of reddit rss feeds on thunderbird, in total they number ~5k entries at the moment. Ever since they reached more than 4k, it does not register an article as read. When I go back to it the next day, I see things that I've already looked at as "new". 


Actual results:

the feed resets for some odd reason after closing down thunderbird.


Expected results:

It should be able to handle it.

OK i have another one that is at 8k in total, but it's from ~20 or so rss feeds. It seems to be happening because it's only 3 rss feeds that have that many entries.

Just after you mark an article as read, is there any error appearing in the error console?

Does rebuilding the folder fixes the issue ?

First off, how do i rebuild the folder? Secondly I didn't look, after reporting this bug I decided to say "screw it" and deleted ~7k items. I'll wait for it to be rebuilt since it should go rather quickly(it's feeds from various reddits).

Or my other folder that does /., hacker news, engadget, ars,bgr, ... should get there first. Currently at 6,192 messages.

Right-click on the folder -> Properties -> Repair folder.

the number of messages is unlikely to be relevant, and repairing the folder is the solution.  starting in Tb13, feed folders are auto repaired when necessary on a new messages operation.  please open an new bug if this happens in Tb13 or later.
