Hello all,
Puzzled gnus user here.
I use a couple of virtual groups. One of them combines my main inboxes
and has a subscription level of 1. The groups it combines are level
4. When I do gnus-group-get-new-news, my groups would get scanned and
the virtual group used to get updated to show the number of unread
messages (in the group buffer).
I did something today in the group buffer without meaning to; I thought
focus was elsewhere and I had typed some word or another before I
noticed. Amongst the things that I mistakenly did was kill the virtual
group. I yanked it back but now asking for new news doesn't update the
unread count for the virtual group. The individual inboxes do get
updated, however.
If I exit gnus and restart, the virtual group shows the correct
count. But only this time.
Other virtual groups continue to behave as I expect.
What did I do??? And how do I get the old behaviour back?
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks,

I can't think of anything but that, when you yanked the group back
again, it yanked back at level 4 and not level 1. I'm sure you've
checked the level of the "new" group, but that's all I can think of.

Yes, I did check the level but thanks for pointing this out just in
case.
I've played around some more and have "solved" the problem: I moved the
virtual group further up the list of groups and it now works. I do not
understand why. Seems fragile...
