don't mark newer items as read when reading an older item
Say you open a category and there are 10 new, unread items. When you click the 5th item, it opens and you can read it. But now items 1-4 are also marked as read (no green bar anymore), while the items 6-10 are left unread.
This is confusing and unlogical, especially when you read chronologically (older items first, moving your way up).

Please turn off ‘scroll to mark as read’ option in settings.

Ahah! "Scroll to Mark as read" was just what I was trying to understand/stop from happening. I was beginning to think it was a bug.

I have the same exceptionally frustrating problem, and I do have the "Scroll to mark as read" box unchecked...

Hm. So that's what happened, I don't see why in List View this should be on by default. It makes more sense on full view, and I thought it was a bug in List View.
