It happened 5 or 6 times yesterday - different folders. Each time a crash report was submitted. It only seems to happen after I performed actions in the folder (read some, saved some) before marking all as read. If I simply clicked on a feed and marked as read it worked fine.

Also to note, the marking as read was successful. When I went back in the folder had no unread.

So - I removed the cache and stored settings so I could start afresh. On starting - I had to authenticate. Then, I set my prefered defaults (Theme - Dark, Story Order - Oldest, Read Filter - Unread Only, Download Stories - checked, Download Images - checked, Download Using - Wifi and Ethernet Only).

I only have top level folders - no subfolders under the top level. One of the folders where feeds have been crashing the app (ā€œCNNā€) has story order set to ā€˜Newest Firstā€™ to override the app wide ā€˜Oldestā€™. (Incidentally, Iā€™ve just noticed that on the web this folder is set to ā€˜Oldestā€™ - if that is relevant).

Cannot find any pattern yet other than a feed needs to have several items, you read a few of them and then click ā€˜Mark Readā€™ to mark the rest read.

I had the same issue a few days ago (a report was submitted). Itā€™s not happened as frequently as Michael though (just that once so far I think). Iā€™m on a Nexus 5 running 6.0

Iā€™m also experiencing a crash when marking all as read on my Nexus 6 on Marshmallow.

I submitted a crash report yesterday that mentioned this post. Hopefully there is something of use in it.

Has any progress been made on this issue? Itā€™s the only thing preventing me from subscribing to Newsblur.

Thank you! Ā I hadnā€™t noticed that it updated automatically last night. Ā Testing now - Iā€™ll know soon enough as it was crashing with some frequency before. Ā Thanks

Happy to report I am not getting the crash anymore with this beta. Thank you!
