I have:
(set
gnus-build-sparse-threads 'some
gnus-thread-hide-subtree t
)
and this worked for years when I used gnus-summary-kill-thread.
Lately (can't be sure exactly when), about a third of the time
when I "kill a thread" (I think when I'm on a phony article), the cursor
bounces to the very end of summary line, which of course pushes
everything else off the edge to the left. Ugly. And I have to hit ^A
to get back to seeing the beginnings of the subject lines.
Is this combination no longer supported, or do I need to add some new
setting to make it work like it did before?

Aha... kill-thread is a red herring.
Even moving up via ^P from the line below the folded thread
causes my cursor to move to the *end* of the "..." instead of staying at
the beginning of the line.
So it's probably a bug in the gnus-thread-hide-subtree, or maybe some
other setting that needs to be set in modern emacs to get the old
behavior back. Anyone else encounter this?

Hm. I'm now able to reproduce this (with Emacs 24, at least). The line
movement stuff has been changed somewhat in Emacs 23, though --
`line-move-visual' (and friends?) defaults have changed, I think.
But I'm not seeing this no matter what the setting of that variable is.

Yeah, so maybe that's a red herring too.
Is there anything I can do to have this do the right thing, even when
the thread is folded?

It sounds like it might be a generic Emacs interface thing. Perhaps the
people on emacs-devel would recognise the problem and know what the
solution is?
