Description lists 2018-01-15 16:28:33 UTC 
Description of problem:
When viewing articles from a particular feed, unread articles are not highlighted in bold. This makes it impossible to determine which are old and which are unread, rendering the application unusable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
liferea-1.12.0-2.fc27.i686

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start liferea
2. Subscribe to an RSS feed.
3. Read some articles but not others.
4. Read and unread articles will appear identical.

Actual results:
No UI difference between read and unread articles.

Expected results:
Unread articles should be highlighted in bold font as in previous versions.

Additional info:
Only happens in "Normal" view. "Wide" view works fine.

Comment 1 Yanko Kaneti 2018-01-15 16:38:11 UTC 
I can't reproduce on GNOME.

The bug looks to me like an incomplete/broken setting of the GTK environment by the particular desktop session. What desktop environment are you using ?
Comment 2 lists 2018-01-15 16:53:11 UTC 
Thanks for picking this up, Yanko.

I'm using Mate (1.19.2) with Marco.
Comment 3 Yanko Kaneti 2018-01-15 18:00:19 UTC 
Since Mate seems to maybe be part of the pictyre,  I dnf grouinstall-ed mate-desktop on a machine to try and reproduce and still couldn't...
Comment 4 Yanko Kaneti 2018-01-16 15:05:36 UTC 
From the only posted screenshot so far in the liferea issue tracker I am trying to find the theme used with Mate but failing. None of the instlled by default look the same so it could be a externally installed theme issue...
Comment 5 lists 2018-01-16 15:30:00 UTC 
I'm not convinced it's specifically a Mate problem. The equivalent Debian bug (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=885868) reports it with LXDE.

Just a shot in the dark for those experiencing the issue on F27.
Maybe try this glib2 build https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1018393 when it finishes. Its likely to go in an update  later today.
Comment 8 lists 2018-01-24 17:18:02 UTC 
Just applied glib2-2.54.3-2.fc27.i686 and tried again. No change I'm afraid.
Comment 9 Yanko Kaneti 2018-01-24 19:14:58 UTC 
Thanks for testing. After your comment it finally dawned on me that the common thing is not Mate but  i686 , vs what most of us run ;)

Could you test this scratch build when its done and see if it works for you

Comment 10 lists 2018-01-25 11:21:44 UTC 
That's fixed it! :-)

Thanks for your help. I'll run this today and get back if there's any further problems. I guess Mate and i686 are kind of related in that they're a common choice for older hardware.
