Hi,
the above is still valid in 3.1.5, the message window doesn't update its
actions, thus if you go to Message->Mark as, then you can see that the
state of them doesn't change when you mark message as read/unread. You
can safely file a bug for this.

It seems to me like the same issue, on the first look, I would keep this
as one report.
