[BUG] feed refresh with all items marked as unread #3571

Description

@alexandru

I am subscribed to this feed: https://www.lightbend.com/blog/rss.xml

The feed contains over 300 articles and all of it was marked as being unread several times. I suspect it happens whenever a new article gets published, but I'm not sure. I woke up to an inbox filled with this feed's articles several times.

Initially I suspected it's the feed's fault. Maybe they don't use stable guid (like it happens with poor implementations). Maybe they have a modified attribute that keeps being updated. But I couldn't find such evidence. Why is this item, for example, being marked as unread, given pubDate and guid haven't changed?

I have approximately the default setup. I don't have mark updated articles as unread on.


Version: 1.18.0 installed via the official Docker image.
