Minor bug: scrolling to mark as read not working by default
After opening a feed or folder, scrolling past does not mark items as read or update the unread count in the left sidebar.
Toggling the 'show all posts'/'show unread only' button after opening a feed DOES seem to tweak something that causes these to start working as expected, but whatever is getting tweaked resets itself again as soon as another feed/folder is clicked. It's slow and hard to remember to do that everytime a new feed is opened.
Loving the old reader, but having a hard time making it a daily driver until this is fixed - got a lot of feeds, and no time to read 'em twice!
(Don't see anyone else bringing this up, so perhaps it's some kind of browser issue? Don't see a setting for it. Let me know if I can provide more details or test something.)

To clarify further-- I normally use Firefox, where I have the noscript and cookie monster addons. I have both of these set to allow for theoldreader.com, which doesn't seem to help. So I went to Chrome, where I don't have any such blockers installed, and it doesn't work there either. It behaves exactly the same. I scroll down, but nothing gets marked as read, and the totals in the navigation frame on the left don't change.

Yes, I have this problem too.

Solved - It was some kind of interaction with the "Better Pop Up Blocker" extension - allowed popups and the problem goes away (though there are no popups).
Sorry for the false-ish alarm. Should have been the first thing I checked.

Chrome "24.0.1312.56" on Linux. Same issue on chrome on my mac at work. Just fired up Firefox here and tried that, and it seems to work fine there.
I use full view.

Which browser are you using?
Do you use list view or full view? -

Wait, do you mean refresh button next to unsub button? Clicking that does make things work.(Again, until next feed is opened.)

Cleared cache and reloaded a couple times, but no change.

Could you please try to refresh page and check again?
