From build 2002020408 (and maybe a few before that, I don't know), pressing N for Next Unread message in newsgroups doesn't actually jump to next newsgroup if you hit Enter to OK the dialog box that asks if you want to jump to next unread message in [newsgroup]. Clicking the OK button works as expected, though. Hitting spacebar flashes a dialog, but doesn't jump. Holding spacebar shows the same dialog box, but closes it as soon as you release the spacebar. You can, however, click the OK button while you hold spacebar down to have it work as expected. Another matter is that I personally think that dialog box is redundant and annoying, since I'm able to see that there are no unread messages in current newsgroup in the newsgroup list pane to the left, so I already know I'm going to jump to the next group -- that's what I *want* to do when I hit N.

Works for me in 2002021503 WinME

WFM Linux 2002-04-18. Reporter can you try a more recent build on your Mac ? What do you mean by "flashes a dialog" ? Can you describe exactly (step by step, imagine I am an idiot :) what happens, and what you expect to happen ? (as for the existence of this dialog at all I agree, but that's a separate issue so let's not discuss it in this bug)

Reading newsgroups: * Select a newsgroup in the left pane. * Press N to jump to next unread message. * Repeat until no more unread messages in current newsgroup. * Press N once more; a dialog pops up, asking if you want to advance to next unread message in [next newsgroup]. * If you then hit Enter to select [OK] in that dialog, the dialog disappears, but you don't move to next unread message in next newsgroup. If, however, you use Spacebar instead of N to read messages, and you're on the end of the last unread message of a newsgroup and press Spacebar to move to next unread message in next newsgroup, the same dialog appears but then immediately disappears (hence, 'flashes'). If I HOLD Spacebar down, though, the dialog stays put and I can click the [OK] button to move to next unread message in next newsgroup. I'm currently using build 2002031106.

I have a similar problem(Mas OS 9.1, Buld 2002072308) but for newsservers. In the folowing configuration(I use the next button in the toolbar): first newsserver open and another closed, i can walk througt the newgroups of the first server, but the nex button stop in the first newsserver and don't open and read the second If the second in open, it works.

I think now that #4 is incorrect. Mozilla don't go to the next group because there was not new messages in it. In this situation NS4 open the news group and reads for new messages. Mozilla does not.

Dup of bug 59638?
