Re: Bug? Smart Groups and Color Labels - Groups "detoriate"

No, not once a week. Only if necessary.
upon further testing, it seems that the problem occurs when you change a color label of a reference for the second time. i.e., I create a new reference, it gets the label "unread" and it will show up in the "unread" list, but when i switch it to "excerpt ...
