Is reload (lowercase R) doing anything? #332

Hi, I'm using the current HEAD (34aaaaf) and have noticed that the feed-specific "reload" function (lowercase R) appears to be doing nothing, or, at least, no feedback is given to the user in the "status bar" at the bottom of the screen, differently than what happens with "reload-all" (capital R).

Moreover, from the help menu it looks like the "r" is available only in the feeds list screen, and not in the articles list, that is counter-intuitive.

Thanks!

Hmm, I can see "Loading ..." just fine (checked both inside and outside of Tmux, just in case.)

I don't really know what might be the cause =\ Maybe try running it in a different terminal emulator, or with different environment (env -i FTW!), or without a config? Clean rebuild (i.e. running make clean before make compile) might also help.

The second bug is split out into #333.

As a wild guess, your network might be so fast, and the server so close, that Newsbeuter doesn't have time to display a message. Maybe try running Newsbeuter through a proxy, or pick a server that takes a while to respond?
