What's the value of your `gnus-summary-line-format' variable?

Uhm...  Would that be useful?

Do you set that variable before or after you exit the (old) summary
buffer?

Yup.  Fix in Oort Gnus v0.11 (i. e., CVS).

%C is taken in the group line format.  I think it would make more
sense to change th %C in the summary line format to something else,
and have the cursor spec be the same in all formats.

How about %~?  I'll change the code to use that instead, which will
make the thing work, as if by magic, in all the modes.

Something weird seems to have happened.  My gnus-summary-line-format
is "%C%U%R%z %10&user-date; %~(ignore 1)3t%B%(%[%-20,20f%]%) %s
"
and the my summary lines now look like

*R +        Tue (ignore 1)3t+[Maciej Matysiak     ] Re: %C in gnus-summary-line-format.

I can guess why the "*" appears at the beginning of the line but the
%~ seems to have broken something.

Eh, "oops".  I had forgotten that %~ was already taken.

Uhm...  %*, then?

%: is used in `gnus-group-mode-line-format' already.  (OK, the point
spec doesn't make any sense in mode line format spec variables, but
still...)

I think we'll keep %*.

Yup.  Fix in Oort Gnus v0.13 (i. e., CVS).

Ah, thanks, works fine now.

`C-h v gnus-summary-line-format' still shows the `%C'. The Info-Manual
is up to date. Unfortunately I looked up with `C-h v'. :-)

%C in gnus-summary-line-format

[Frank Haun]

Hi,

the specifier `%C'[1] doesn't work anymore, since I've upgraded
to Oort v.012. At the position of the `%C' I get a `*'.

gnus-summary-line-format's value is 
"%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L%C %-23,23f%]%) %s\n"
Local in buffer *Summary gnus.ding*;

Frank

Footnotes: 
[1] %C   If present, indicates desired cursor position
     (instead of after first colon).
