When selecting a specific album in the third column (my / standard configuration) of the album browser, all other albums in this column list will be removed. This shouldn't be the case, IMHO, because there is no advantage but a disadvantage (less choice for further selection).
E.g. I select "Johann Sebastian Bach" in the artist column. There will be lots of albums in the respective column. Now I select "Sacred Cantatas, Vol. 1". The view refreshes and there will be two entries: "All (1 entry)" and "Sacred Cantatas, Vol. 1" (the latter is selected). Of course, I can now see the tracks on this album below. But all other albums by Bach in the song browser are gone without a good reason, or am I mistaken? Just as with the artist column, MM should display all albums by Bach (and below, of course, still only the tracks belonging to the selected album).
What is especially annoying is this: Having looked at the tracks of "Sacred Cantatas, Vol. 1". I notice that the song I was looking for is on Vol. 2 - or I want to play even more songs from Vol. 2. Then I select "All (1 entry)" in the song browser's album column. Now all albums are dispalyed again - but the "cursor" is at top position of course - "Sacred Cantatas, Vol. 1", though, is about 100 album entries below that. Now I have to browse down and search for "Sacred Cantata", again.
Also, at some different point I got "All (0 entries)" in all three song browser columns, but I can't reproduce that right now, will keep testing.
