I often find that track 7 will also have been deleted from the playlist even though it wasn't selected or highlighted. I don't know why this happens but the poster may have noticed tracks missing if this was done a lot although it seems to be more a problem with the lists themselves.
I decided to start over, and deleted the DB, that *seems* to have fixed it-- but it does seem to me a problem other people besides me have had, although mine was definately a more extreme case.

In my case, it wasn't an issue of 'delete 4,5,6 and 7 vanishes too', it was more 'delete track #3475, tracks 01-3350 vanish too' - never the same number of tracks, and although 'undo' would bring them back, sometimes simply shifting to another track would erase them from the playlist again. Whether it was on normal play mode or shuffle didn't matter, though if it was on shuffle it was always a section of tracks before the current playing track-- if it was on normal mode, it was a random block. (And every once in a while, they'd vanish on starting MM if i closed it and restarted it.(

I'm going to chalk it up to a corrupted DB, since it seems to have been fixed after I deleted the DB and started from scratch (which is annoying!)-- but if it happens again, I'll post back, and see what I can do about figuring out how to manually reproduce it.

-- shift + select files to select a list of sequential files
-- shift + delete to delete file selected file or files
Good suggestion, but normally the user should be able to see that several files were marked for deletion. (?)

In my case, only one file was usually selected- files would vanish that weren't selected. While with me it seems to have been triggered by a corrupted DB, there's apparently something in MM that's causing similar issues with other people... if my issue comes back, I'll keep a much closer eye on what/how it happens, on the off chance they actually are related and not just a corrupt DB on my end.
