It doesn't prohibit a user to fetch articles of groups above the level(J u), so the groups are still under agent management. The number of unread is changed because the .overview file in nnagent is not updated. It happens when you enter a group (even below g-a-h-level) without having fetched the headers, e.g. `J j g J j'. Possibly, it is not a bug because "The Gnus Agent doesn't seem to work like most other offline newsreaders." ShengHuo
