What do you mean by "cycles back"?  Do you mean that you hit space bar or n or
something and you go back to the beginning of the thread/group?  Please explain
more clearly how to reproduce this one...

[[e-mail] (gone - use [e-mail] instead)]

Please file in the correct component in the future; for news issues, Networking-
News.  Thanks.

"cycles back" meaning it starts at the top of that news group again and ya gotta
read the whole mess. When it gets to the end of that news group, it takes you
back to the top of the same news group and runs through it again and again ....
To get it go like this, just keep hitting the NEXT button.


As far as where to put this bug - how about making the menu a little less
imposing - maybe insert an option for news group problems or whatever. There
have been bunches of people that have stated the bugzilla page is a bear.
