Normally gnus-summary-kill-thread sets cursor after killed thread but
sometimes cursor is moved to end of buffer skipping all subsequent
threads. It bothered me for quite a long time as it wasn't reproducible
for me (I could kill thread just once) but I think I have found in what
circumstances it happens.

I think this happens if I enter gnus summary buffer where I have some
old unread mails and some new unread mails and I call
gnus-summary-kill-thread before I press enter to see some concrete
message content. It is reproducible only until I see some message
content and only if both new and old unread messages are in the buffer.

GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.10.7)

It seems I was wrong in describing conditions when error occurs. It
happens also in other cases. I don't know now what really triggers the
problem but having many unread threads seem to make it more probable.

I tried `T k' in a few groups, and it seemed to work OK for me.  Could
you try to narrow down when this happens?

I reported it quite some time ago and I don't remember this happening to
me lately. Although gnus version is reported the same - Gnus v5.13,
emacs version I have is:

GNU Emacs 24.4.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.14.5) of 2015-03-07 on trouble, modified by Debian

so a newer one. I don't know if this functionality uses some core emacs
features that could be fixed between 24.3.1 and currently used version
and could explain making the problem disappear.

I tried to reproduce this now and I'm not able do so. I think this bug
can be closed. If it hits me again I'll reopen it or make a new report.

OK; thanks for checking.
