It used to work, but has been broken for a while, clicking on the number of new messages takes you to the start of the topic rather than the first unread message.

OK I've found in My settings : Preferences : Linear Layout a checkbox for "Jump to first unread post in a topic", but if I check this, it changes all topic links to jump to the last unread message, which is not really what I want.
Lithium have messaged me to let me know that this bug should be fixed now as part of a software update.
To be perfectly honest, I am not entirely happy with these results and I would have programmed them differently for different situations (like not having the jump appear on the unread 'posts' feed).
