I am not sure if this behavior is intentional or not, but it surprised me and I thought I'd ask before I invest time changing it. When selecting an `nnvirtual' group with a numeric prefix, I see the newest messages of each of its component groups and not the newest messages of the combined group. Example: I have a group made up of four component groups. I do a 'C-u 2 0 ' and I end up with the five most recent messages from each of the groups. Below you see the dates of the 20 most recent messages when I open the combined group on the left, compared to the 20 most recent messages when I open it with prefix. Today, 06:06 Tuesday 20:55 Today, 06:19 Tuesday 20:59 Today, 06:44 Yesterday, 17:27 Today, 06:45 Yesterday, 17:31 Today, 07:27 Yesterday, 17:57 Today, 07:31 Today, 01:15 Today, 08:13 Today, 02:34 Today, 08:30 Today, 02:41 Today, 09:02 Today, 02:44 Today, 09:18 Today, 04:57 Today, 10:00 Today, 09:02 Today, 10:01 Today, 10:00 Today, 10:45 Today, 10:45 Today, 10:51 Today, 10:51 Today, 11:15 Today, 11:15 Today, 11:32 Today, 11:32 Today, 12:05 Today, 12:05 Today, 12:13 Today, 12:13 Today, 12:27 Today, 12:27 Today, 12:56 Today, 12:56 All messages on the left are from two high volume groups. The other two groups don't show up on the left list at all and you can tell by the time stamps that the first five messages on the right are from a low volume group. I can see some value to using the approach to show messages from all groups, but that fails when I select fewer groups than there are component groups. I may only see an older message from a low-volume group instead of the one new message that was just posted to a high-volume group. Can you explain the expected behavior to me? Thanks! -- Alex.

Yup. It's pretty annoying and should be fixed, but I didn't see any easy way to do that the last time I poked at it (which was a couple decades ago). -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Mon Jun 14 13:34:48 2021 Received: (at 48950) by debbugs.gnu.org; 14 Jun 2021 17:34:49 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:47754 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1lsqU4-0003Cm-MR for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Mon, 14 Jun 2021 13:34:48 -0400 Received: from ns.lapseofthought.com ([50.0.39.240]:46043 helo=mail.lapseofthought.com) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1lsqU2-0003Cd-EZ for 48950@debbugs.gnu.org; Mon, 14 Jun 2021 13:34:47 -0400 Received: from awb-mbp.local (unknown [IPv6:2601:646:4200:b470:80fd:a41c:b5fc:560c]) (using TLSv1.2 with cipher ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 (256/256 bits)) (No client certificate requested) by mail.lapseofthought.com (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id 4G3dql6ctHz3pdqD; Mon, 14 Jun 2021 10:34:43 -0700 (PDT) From: Alex Bochannek To: Lars Ingebrigtsen Subject: Re: bug#48950: 28.0.50; Gnus nnvirtual selection with positive prefix shows newest articles of component groups References: <87o8ca2at7.fsf@gnus.org> Date: Mon, 14 Jun 2021 10:34:32 -0700 In-Reply-To: <87o8ca2at7.fsf@gnus.org> (Lars Ingebrigtsen's message of "Sun, 13 Jun 2021 14:44:52 +0200") Message-ID: User-Agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/28.0.50 (darwin) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Authentication-Results: ORIGINATING; auth=pass smtp.auth=alex smtp.mailfrom=alex@bochannek.com X-Spam-Score: -0.0 (/) X-Debbugs-Envelope-To: 48950 Cc: 48950@debbugs.gnu.org X-BeenThere: debbugs-submit@debbugs.gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.18 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Sender: "Debbugs-submit" X-Spam-Score: -1.0 (-) Lars Ingebrigtsen writes: > Alex Bochannek writes: > >> I am not sure if this behavior is intentional or not, but it surprised >> me and I thought I'd ask before I invest time changing it. >> >> When selecting an `nnvirtual' group with a numeric prefix, I see the >> newest messages of each of its component groups and not the newest >> messages of the combined group. > > Yup.
