I have this exact same problem, too. I thought I was the only one!

It's been happening to me for quite a while now, and it still randomly does.

You are using my workaround as well....select the item to be "Keep unread" and then I hit "Mark these items as read"

Then the feeds I've read and don't care about are read and hidden, and the ones I want to star can now be starred.

You're totally correct on this one. The worst part is the completely random nature of the no-star-allowed bug, making one think that maybe it's just one part of the screen, or a certain way you tapped it.

Kinda ruins those mornings where I want to grab a little more horizontal time and feed-read in bed ;)

LOL – I've been suffering with this one for some time now as well – very annoying. I'm guessing you've discovered the same not-so-great workaround as I have – if it's a post I really don't want to lose track of I tick the 'Keep Unread' check box at the bottom of the post, then go back to top of the page and hit Refresh. Then the starring will generally work and I get rid of the Keep Unread marking …
