Click any part of the feed to open it, not just the title.
A small but nice feature of Google Reader is being able to open a feed item by clicking any part of it, not just the title. This allows for faster access and an overall smoother experience.

I prefer the current behavior (click the bar to mark it as read without opening), it matches my work flow better. Vote against.

yeah make it just like google-reader, rly most options should be copied from there.

It might be an option for the one that need it, but I don't want this as default behavior

I know some like the current way, but it would be nice if there was at least an option to make clicking anywhere on a collapsed article, expand that article.

I've crated a user style, that makes the title full-width, so you can click it more easily:

I noticed the behavior Ryan describes, but it felt more like a bug to me than something deliberate. Maybe it would be better to have a more obvious way to mark a collapsed post as read without having to open it (a button or something) while allowing a click anywhere else on the post title to expand it?

I don't want this.

I'm not sure this is the right thing, but i think it should be possible to open (and more importantly close) a post in list view by clicking anywhere on its title line.
Then perhaps we can have a "mark as read" checkbox for Ryan's feature? -

I'm going to vote against this one. One thing I really like about TOR is that if I click anywhere but the title, it makes that item as read. In Reader I had to open the item and close it (yes I know you could make it mark as read if you scroll past but that didn't work for how I use it).
