This bug is to track issues causing liferea-1.4.x to be masked.
Issue #1 with liferea 1.4.1 Space doesn't work correctly; on startup, the Next Unread Item button has focus, and Space selects the next unread item, rather than scrolling the item window. If you click into the item window, Space now scrolls the item window, but does not move to the next unread item at the end of it. This is a major regression, and enough for me to not use 1.4.1.
Liferea should have webkit backend disabled by default (or a use flag, but we do not have webkit in portage, so we should disable it). I'm installing 1.4.2 on my laptop where i have also a Webkit installation and it automatically picks webkit (which for now works far worse than mozilla in liferea) as rendering engine.
I know about the webkit backend. webkit is *far* from ready to be a rendering engine for things like liferea; once it works and is in portage, I'll see about enabling it.
Okay, I've been playing with liferea 1.4.2, and it appears to work correctly. I've unmasked it, and am closing this bug.
I've re-masked liferea 1.4 because of this ussue: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1784045&group_id=87005&atid=581684 Sorry about this, I'll test more thoroughly in the future.

Well, I'm unhappy with the fix from upstream (I still lose some amount of read history), but it seems to work well enough, and it's not going to be really fixed any time soon. So, unmasked again.
