I don't think all of this is you. I've noticed for some time that the
down arrow doesn't disappear when I read the last unread message in a
newsgroup, but it does if I navigate away from the group. Normally, the
NG name is bolded with the unread message count in parentheses at the
end, and if it's zero, the bolding and the count vanish. So it's weird
to see an unbolded NG name with a down arrow.
This may be related to a small annoyance I have seen from time to time
-- namely, that despite me having read all the available new messages in
a newsgroup (by going "next unread message"), the unread message count
does not go down to zero. I think that somehow a message inside an
ignored thread is mistakenly not set to "read" status.
Right-clicking on the newsgroup and selecting "mark newsgroup as read"
fixes the issue.
I think it has to do with when SM polls to see what to do about the
arrow. The message count and bolding update instantly whenever there's a
change, but the arrow status updates only when I enter and leave the NG.
The read/unread status of all messages is handled correctly, and as I
said, the bolding and unread count update instantly.
I just tested with this group as follows: I opened your message, which
was the last unread, and the bolding and "(1)" instantly vanished. I
toggled read/unread several times using "M," and nothing happened to the
arrow, while the bolding and "(1)" consistently toggled on and off. On
clicking a different folder, I saw the arrow vanish, but not before.
