Bug ID: 500730
Summary: Jump to oldest unread message
Classification: Applications
Product: NeoChat
Version: 24.12.2
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist

SUMMARY
People chat a lot, I can't keep up. Right now I'm at 620 unread messages in KDE
Contributors' Chat, 723 unread messages in the KWin room, 217 unread messages
in KDE Linux, you get the idea.
Neochat's "Jump to oldest loaded message" in the top right corner is useless in
this context. I don't know how many messages NeoChat has loaded, so this is
literally a "jump up by an undefined amount" button. Once I've jumped, I don't
know if the latest unread message is still further up or is now below the
current scroll position. I don't know how many times I need to jump. Would it
perhaps just better to scroll up until I find the unread marker?
So I would argue that a "Jump to oldest *unread* message" button should replace
the "Jump to oldest loaded message" button. Rough algorithm, load more messages
until the oldest unread message is among them. Then scroll to that.
This is a deal-breaker for me switching to NeoChat, even though Element is
positively terrible in terms of scrolling and reliably loading messages. I need
to be able to continue reading where I left off many days ago.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Join an active channel
2. Don't read it for a few days
3. Try to find the first unread message again
OBSERVED RESULT
Finding the spot where you left off is difficult and I may even scroll past the
unread marker altogether.
EXPECTED RESULT
I click a button and it takes me to the oldest unread message.
