I have gnus-topic-display-empty-topics set to nil in my .gnus.el, so empty topics aren't shown by default. If I want to enter an empty group for some reason, I hit 'j' and enter the group name. The group and the appropriate topic now appear in the group buffer, but only the topic _directly_ above the group shows up. I would expect all of the topics to appear when I jump to the group. For example, if I have a layout like this: [ topic1 ] [ topic2 ] [ topic3 ] nnml:foo [ other topic ] [ another topic ] When I hit 'j', to make nnml:foo appear, I would expect to see all of the topics containing it displayed as above. However, this is what I see instead: [ topic1 ] [ topic3 ] nnml:foo [ other topic ] [ another topic ] As you can see, this is a bit confusing, because you don't see topic2 any more (even though indentation indicates that a topic _should_ be there). I think it'd be much better if 'j' made nnml:foo, topic1, _and_, topic2 (and any topics that are parents of topic2) appear in the group buffer. Does anyone agree/disagree with this? -Emerick -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Emerick Rogul /\/ "how young are you, how old am i? emerick@cs.bu.edu /\/ let's count the rings around my eyes." ------------------------------------------------- 'i will dare', the mats
