[Pan-users] Bug where group shows up without new posts in bold - now I know what causes it

[Brian Morrison]

I've noticed that Pan 0.12.93 will often show me a group which starts
out with all the posts in bold, i.e. new, but immediately after, in an
eyeblink or less, marks them all as old i.e. no longer in bold type.

Finally worked out what is happening. If I either post a new article or
follow up to an existing thread, then when I enter a group to which this
post or follow up is cross-posted it refreshes the headers in the group
at this point and although I have not actually opened the group before
all other new posts are then treated as old. Since I run a local news
server my posts are already in the database at this point and I see them
before I would if I were dialling up to my ISP's servers.

Is that clear enough? I can put it in bugzilla if you want Charles, but
maybe this report is enough for someone to work out how to fix it. AFAIK
this was not present in the 0.11.x series but has been in all the
0.12.9x versions I've used.
