Hello,
I have configured Gnus to gather loose threads under a dummy root
article. I have "%S" set in gnus-summary-dummy-line-format, and %s in
gnus-summary-line-format: my intent is to have the thread subject show
up only once, on the dummy root.
Sometimes this works:
┌◈ bug#40337: 28.0.50; Enable
case-fold-search in hi-lock
02:08 ├► Juri Linkov
05:33 ╰► Stefan Monnier
And sometimes it doesn't:
┌◈ Re: Emacs's set-frame-size can
not work well with gnome-shell?

I poked at lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el and reported this as bug#40520, where I
suggested the following patch:
0001-Simplify-dummy-root-subject-before-comparing-it-to-t.patch
Description: Text Data
As I said in the report, unless I'm mistaken, gnus-tmp-prev-subject's
sole purpose is to be compared with simp-subject. Since the latter goes
through gnus-simplify-subject-fully, it seems right that the former
would go through it too…
So far the report has not received much attention. I figure it could be
a good idea to ask this list for feedback: is this an issue someone else
has run into? Could it be something from my configuration (which I've
posted as a footnote in the bug report)?
Also, I imagine that this list is one of the best places to find people
who can answer the question I asked in my bug report's second footnote:
how would one go about writing an ERT test case for this?
Thank you for your time.
