Bug Description

Binary package hint: liferea

I have not figured out the conditions under which this happens, but sometimes liferea will overwrite edited feed names with the original feed name. This is not related to liferea not saving its state at crash or session end, since it has happened to feeds that I have long ago changed and there have been many clean quit and restarts of liferea with those edited feed names.

Yes, that also happens to me. It seems like everytime a feed has new entries, the feed name is reset - for whatever reason. Really annoying when the feed has a long standard name and you just want to keep it renamed to something short so that it fits into the feed list's width.
