1294.0. "GPC and Read Unseen (RU) - not setting notes to SEEN " by GIDDAY::SETHI (Man from Downunder) Mon Aug 24 1992 04:17

    G'day All, 
    
    The customer has the following configuration ALL-IN-1 IOS Version 3.0,
    VAXnotes Version 2.1 and VMS Version 5.4-2.  The customer has come
    across a number of problems with GPC, the one that really "bugs" him
    :-) is the RU option (Read unseen).  I have managed to reproduce the 
    problem on my system.
    
    When the RU option is used it does not mark a topic/replies as seen. 
    For example 
    
     - go into Notes, (RU) Read unseen notes
     - exit Notes
     - later, go back into Notes ... see the same unseen notes!!!
     - repeat ad nauseam
    
    Can someone confirm this is a misfeature please and if it's been SPR'd.
    I will SPR it if required.
    
    Sunil
    
    PS - I had to make the "bug" pun above could not help myself :-). Have
    a good day.

1294.1	Known problem	IOSG::NEWLAND	Richard Newland, IOSG, REO1-D/4A	`Mon Aug 24 1992 11:03`	5
	It's a known problem that might be fixed in a possible future update to V3.0. Richard
1294.2	Problem still exists in V3.0-1 and V3.0A	ZUR01::WORK19::BURKHALTER	Rolf Burkhalter @RLE	`Wed Jan 26 1994 09:49`	20
	Hi ALL-IN-1 V3.0-1 VAX Notes V2.1 GPC (Group Conferencing) The problem described in .0 still exists in V3.0-1 and also in V3.0A. If you read an unseen note, then exit GPC and ALL-IN-1 and reenter it, you will see the same unseen note. The read topic/reply will not be correctly marked as seen. The release notes of V3.0-1 and V3.0A describe in point 2.6.3 that this problem is solved in both versions, but it isn't. Is this a known problem and is there any solution available? Thanks in advance for any help Rolf
1294.3	The way we walk	IOSG::MAURICE	I left my heart in Alcatraz	`Wed Jan 26 1994 10:01`	15
	Hi, We fixed it in V3.1 (did I really say that - of course I should have said PFR), by changing ALL-IN-1's exit code to ensure that the conference gets updated on exit. A workround you may wish to try is to change the code for oa$_mo_exit and oa$_mo_exit2 on form DEFAULT to have similar logic as on form OAN$MENU1, so that it updates and closes a conference if there is one open. This workround is not quite perfect as it is, for example, vulnerable to someone typing <BYE. Cheers Stuart
