Yes, thanks, I'd think that too except for this vague recollection it has happened before. Though anything so tricky should be a bug not a feature!
BTW There's another funny: on every other NG, switching from one to another in the NG pane makes the threads pane also switch to the new set of threads as shown by the local threads count. But not a.c - the threads pane still shows the previous NG's set...
