You are on the last unread thread in a newsgroup. Pressing space will (offer to)
move you to the next unread in another newsgroup. This should be the same for
Ignoring a thread.
Offer to is in () because it is a preference whether you want to be warned or
not when moving across newsgroups. I personally have disabled the warning.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Expected Results:
(offer to) Move to next unread thread in the next newsgroup

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".
This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.
While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.

Still relevant.

"ignore" is in a class of immediate functions that doesn't affect navigation
- watch
- tag
- star
etc
For consistency, if ignore changed then perhaps some of these others should change, and if so I'm inclined to disagree with the whole idea.

I think that Ignore doesn't quite fit into this group.
True, like Watch, Tag and Flag/Star it currently does not affect navigation, but unlike them, it influences not only the current message but the entire thread. Being killed is no feature of the selected message but the thread it belongs to.
Actually, I think that Ignore is a escalation of Next:
- Next goes to the next unread message.
- Next Thread marks the remainder of the current thread as read and goes to the next unread message.
- Ignore should mark the remainder of the current thread as read, mark the thread as ignored and go to the next unread message.

No, they shouldn't, no need to disagree. ;-)

Ignore does affect navigation - doesn't it do a next unread after ignoring the thread? That's what it used to do...

Yes, it does; I meant "cross folder navigation", which it doesn't.
