[gnu.emacs.gnus] bug?

Hello,

I believe I may have found a minor bug in Gnus 3.8.

if you have the following in your *Newsgroup* buffer

      1: group1
      1: group2
     10: group3

and the 1 article that is in group1 has been cross posted to group2 then
if you 

1) select group1 (thereby marking it as read in both group1 and
group2)
2) hit 'n' for next group

then gnus will say no more unread news and pop you back to the
*Newsgroup* buffer even though you have everything in group3 to read.

The numbers don't actually matter as long as by the time you finish
group1 there is nothing to read in group2 you will see this behavior.

I have noticed this for quite a while but was never absolutely certain
what caused it.

Either way, gnus is really very nice.  The only thing that is missing
that I would REALLY like would be something for the info reader on
gnus. 

thank you

It is not a bug but a feature. If you'd like not to exit even in such
case, try the following:

(setq gnus-auto-select-next 'always)  ;Not nil nor T

   Either way, gnus is really very nice.  The only thing that is missing

I have no time to write GNUS manual now. Sorry.
