Group Summary Not Updated on "g"

Group Summary Not Updated on "g"

[Randy Yates]

Hi Folks,

I using gnus 5.10.7.

When I press "g" in the group summary buffer, emails
are updated, but groups are not, i.e., the number of
unread articles aren't updated. Oddly, if I enter
a specific group, then exit and press "g", the unread
article count is update. 

Is there a fix for this, or am I doing something wrong?

I should add that this is under

Do "C h k g" in the group list and the summary before and compare
them. Something is wrong.

g in the group list does this for me : g runs the command gnus-summary-show-article

good luck.

Hey Folks,

I'm still looking for the solution to this problem. I
noticed one or two others are also having the same
problem. Why is the group (no pun) silent silent on
this issue???

g runs `gnus-group-get-new-news'

`gnus-group-get-new-news' is an interactive compiled Lisp function
  -- loaded from "gnus-group"
(gnus-group-get-new-news &optional ARG)

Documentation:
Get newly arrived articles.
If ARG is a number, it specifies which levels you are interested in
re-scanning.  If ARG is non-nil and not a number, this will force
"hard" re-reading of the active files from all servers.

FWIW, I am also seeing the issue with Gnus from CVS.

I think the reason you may not be seeing many responses to this issue
is that it appears to require a combination of a specific gnus version
and a news server using some specific software or configuration.
Essentially, only a few people are seeing this issue. 

As I reported earlier, I had this problem after my ISP changed their
news server software - I think they moved to dnes, but I'm not sure on
that. I got around the problem by using M-g when I wanted to check for
new news in a group. 

However, a few weeks ago, without me changing anything on my system,
the problem seems to have gone away. I don't know if my ISP changed
softwre or changed configuration - all I know is the problem is no
longer a problem for me.
