Hmm... If this is not a temporary quirk, it looks like the problem is not quite solved... or has come back in disguise :-)

I just ran through a 50+ "All" list, then another 15 after a re-sync, using 3G (can't use Wifi at work because of the proxy issue :-).

I only had a couple of "skip one and go back to list" occurrences, which is not bad.

What's bad (and new) is that I've had quite a lot of "skip one and don't go back to list, just display item N+2"... which is worse in a way because if you're not paying close attention you'll miss the posts altogether !

This didn't happen before AFAIK, but the same old "rules" seem to apply :

* it happens rarely/almost never on most "simple" feeds (plain text like Delicious)

* it happens very often/almost always on content-heavy (and/or potentially malformed) feeds (like Engadget & Gizmodo).

Most of the time if you notice the "skip" you can just press "k" to go back and display the missing article. Gizmodo items are special in this regard, and the worst of the bunch, because they *also* get skipped going back ! Sometimes the only way to get at them is to go back to the list and select them directly...

It would really be easier if QWebkit got fixed :-)

PS: Hardware.fr feeds are also problematic although they're very plain ; I believe they're really malformed because even Feedly has issues with those...


EDIT: and as usual the effect is much less noticeable on Wifi. I just went through a 20+ "All" list at home : no "back-to-list" and only one "jump-to-N+2" (on Gizmodo, of course :-).
