Description:
New Akregator apparently has no way to mark an individual article as read. You can click "Complete Story" to be taken to where you can read the complete article, but upon returning the unread article count remains the same.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
extra/kdebase 4.1.2-1

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
Open Akgregator, add a feed, check the unread column count, read an unread article, recheck the unread column count.
You have to manually mark the feed as read, which does the whole list of new articles whether you read them all or not.
This task depends upon

and what are we supposed to do? :-)
I don't think there's any better solution for us than wait for new version.

Just a couple comments, the "average" user has no way to know if a problem is due to upstream or some change/problem implemented at the distro level.
First response can only be to report to the distro devs for resolution and if they don't take responsiblilty for it, then take it upstream yourself?
Of course, if one has to do this for oneself, one might as well be running Linux From Scratch.

Ok, the point is:
Who is upstream going to listen to? A distro that submits a change request or "joe average"?
