Using TB 115.3.1 64bit. I'm new to this version. In a newsgroup display,
in the right pane, in the Subject column the only views I can get are
all 'expanded' style.
I want to click something to 'collapse' them all. So that the column has
a single entry for each thread, the entry being the subject. Isn't there
a 'collapse all' selection?
Toggling back into 'expanded' view is also desirable. It seems like
that was always a feature usually available for something like this.
TIA. Bill S.

There is a key that collapses them all: '\'

Me, I would like a preference so that when I switch to a news group or
mail folder, it opens with all threads collapsed by default, and the
focus in the last thread, ie, the most recent one, at the bottom, till I
change it.

I wish it would too.

With v102 the view remembered enough state that it didn't bother me, but
with how the view of a group seems to work in v115, I "have" to hit '\'
every time.

And often the focus goes to the top of the list instead of staying put
at the bottom.

Me too. If current behavior isn't a bug, I wish developers would provide
a reliable and easy way to set "all collapsed" as a sticky, default option.
