I've been using Gnus for over ten years, mainly to handle mailing lists.
Using a procmail(-like) filter I deliver mail from mailing lists into a local
news spool and read them with Gnus as nnml groups. So far so good.
Recently I upgraded from Emacs 21.4 to 24.0 and I came across a very annoying
change in behaviour.
With the old Emacs/Gnus, when I invoked Gnus, I got presented a list of all
groups that have new messages, e.g.
[ Gnus -- 10 ]
[ Mailing lists -- 10 ]
[ Graphics -- 10 ]
6: nnml:maillists.gimp-user-list
4: nnml:maillists.inkscape-user
With the new Emacs/Gnus, I get to see *all* lists, but without new message
information:
[ Gnus -- 0 ]
[ Mailing lists -- 0 ]
[ Graphics -- 0 ]
*: nnml:maillists.gimp-user-list
*: nnml:maillists.graphics
*: nnml:maillists.inkscape-user
*: nnml:maillists.tgif4-announce
(In the real situation, there are about 200 groups spread over several topics.)
When I enter such a group (with SPC), I can see the new messages and when I quit
the group (with q) the actual number of new messages is displayed in the
summary. E.g., after visiting the gimp user list without reading any new
messages.
[ Gnus -- 6 ]
[ Mailing lists -- 6 ]
[ Graphics -- 6 ]
6: nnml:maillists.gimp-user-list
*: nnml:maillists.graphics
*: nnml:maillists.inkscape-user
*: nnml:maillists.tgif4-announce
Before I start digging in my extensive setup and configuration files, does this
change in behaviour ring a bell with someone? Any suggestions where to start
looking?

Correction: upgrade was from 23.2.1 (Fedora14) to 24.0.97 (Fedora17).
Both emacs versions are distributed with Gnus 5.13.
I went back to 23.2.1 and Gnus behaves as it should. However, all articles
I read with Emacs 24 are still marked as unread.

Johan, does `M-g' show the correct counts? If yes, do `M-g' on a topic
and all will be refreshed. I have something similar happening on Emacs
under Mac OS X, which I thought was a problem with my setup. So add my
vote to fixing this bug... if it's anything obvious...
