'View First Unread' does not work

[gropiuskalle]

As the title suggests, the 'View First Unread'-button does not work properly since a few days. It will lead me to the first comment on the page that contains the first unread comment instead of the actual first unread comment.

Tested with the current Firefox on openSUSE and WinXP.

Yes, I am seeing the same thing.

On the first page of a post, it works.

When the first unread post is on the second or later page, it takes me to the top of that page, rather than to the first unread message.

Can you provide me with steps to reproduce the issue? Also, if it makes
a difference, which threading mode are you using (flat, hybrid, or
threaded)?

I am using the default threading-mode [simple chronological order] (that is "flat", isn't it?).

What I do is:

1. Browse through threads via "What's new?" → "New posts"

2. Choose a thread I have already read but contains new posts

3. Click "View first unread"

What it does:

It takes me do the first post of the page containing the first unread post

What it should do:

Taking me to the first unread post

As nrickert mentions, it does work when the first unread post is on the first page, but not when it is on page 2, 3 etc.

Thanks, that's good to know - will pass this along.

This happens to me in Firefox and Chrome, on Windows and ChromeOS.

I believe this happens in Linux too.

Any news on that issue?

Funny, when I tried it with this post, it worked but all of the other threads I tried it on it didn't.

As mentioned, when a thread has only one page yet or the first unread post is on the first page, it does work. The unwanted behaviour occurs with multiple-page threads only.

Not as of yet.

Awww. Okay. Um. Well, I'm sure you will keep it in your mind.
