*'d Groups

*'d Groups

[Chris Richards]

Howdy.

I had a recent X-windows meltdown which left gnus apparently in an
unpleasant state.  Upon restarting, several of my groups are in this
format (total messages, marked messages, and unread messages
respectively):
 
      0   *   * :   nnfolder:lists.word

When mail is split into that group it isn't updated.  I have to
actually enter the group summary buffer to see the messages there.

After returning to the group buffer, the numbers are correct:

      2   1   0 :   nnfolder:lists.word

If I save, quit, and restart gnus I am back to square one with the
group marked:

      0   *   * :   nnfolder:lists.word

How can I recover from this?

Cheers,
cjr

Version: Gnus 5.8.2

Quitting all the way out of X-Emacs and coming back in has at least
gotten the 'g' to work.  Initially most of the groups are *'d like
below but 'g' causes the group buffer to update.

Also as another side effect... my unsubscribed groups used to be
hidden in the group buffer unless I displayed all groups 'L'.  Now,
regardless of the 'U' setting they are shown.

I would like to get this back to its previous behavior also.

Cheers,
cjr

It sounds like the nnfolder active file is hosed.  Does it look ok?

It looks fine, yes.  All weekend I was using 'gnus-no-server' and I
repeatedly saw the problem regardless of how many times I thought I
cleaned up and quit.

This morning I come into work and fire up 'gnus' and everything seems
okay...  Perhaps a false positive?

I'll keep an eye on this.

What level are the problem groups on?  gnus-no-server will ignore
groups of level 3 and higher.  (`S l' in the *Group* buffer will
display the selected group's level and ask you for a new value.)
