If I have a folder selected, and I click the Mark as Read button (now at the bottom of the screen), the stories don’t get marked as read. I get “faked out” when it looks like the stories are marked, but in reality they’re not. I use this feature a LOT to mark a folder (and sometimes included sub-folders) as read.
