I can reproduce the filter bug in the Tracklisting as well. All I had to do was edit 2 tracks through Properties (one at the time) and when OKing the second edit the Tracklisting was filtered.

Merely opening the Properties window and using the Update & Next song button twice also caused this.

That is how it behaves in Windows Explorer (in XP, Vista, and Win 7), and seems to be the standard.
Yes you are right.

Still I would prefer if it didn't focus the item.

But on the other hand I'm all for Mediamonkey having a standard behavior.
So I'll just try to get used to it.

Tho re. the nodes in the media tree, there MM isn't using standard behavior and I hope it will be fixed for MM4.

This one seems trickier to reproduce, I also failed, but then it was working again and now after restart it doesn't.

1) Open a node with multiple albums (I've seen it on Music and Entire Library nodes)
2) Make sure a track is selected in the Tracklisting (not sure if it's needed)
3) Right click on track in Now Playing Window
4) OK
5) Right click on track in Now Playing Window
6) OK

And Tracklistings now is filtered.

And in the Art Browser with Details view Step 4 causes the selected Album's art to refresh in the Art Browser.

I can't reproduce that, but using instructions in your first post it is reproducible.

Weird!
Here I can still reproduce consistently the issue. Using the steps you described.

I personally find it useful and Windows Explorer does the same here on XP.

No worries.

I would say that your issue is a wishlist item. It has been discussed for tree nodes where I do agree it shouldn't happen (long node loading for no reason). But I think it's logical that right click on a file changes selection.

Sorry Lowlander. I forgot that step where you actually intentionally left click on the track to select it.

I understand now and I can reproduce.

Sorry for the confusion.

Btw: Should I open a new thread for the bug I mentioned: right clicking changes the focus of the Art & Details panel?
