Often my now playing list isn't showing the current track (because I've scrolled through it), so there's no easy way of editing the currently playing track.
Intuitively, I right-click on the Current Track Controller panel (at the bottom of the screen) expecting a similar context menu that appears when I click on a track in a list/grid panel... but nothing!
Any chance of adding this context menu here?
BTW, is there an official name for the "current track controller panel"?

**If you're wondering why I'm still on MM4: It still has more useful-to-me plugins; and I prefer the GUI's responsiveness, panes spreadable over multi-monitors flexibility, and predictability (all coz it's more Windows-native). I also hate "flat design" for its visual inefficiency. For me, MM4's benefits are still > MM5, and MM5's downsides < MM4. There still appears to be way less MM5 plugins -- even after all this time. MM5 docs for plugin developers seem very undeveloped to me -- which makes me uninclined to invest into learning how to improve MM5 for my own wants.
Thanks Peke. I went back and tried again. This time I did get a context menu - but only in certain spots on the frame of the player. No menu appears on the most obvious place - the text display of the song title and artist.
Try it - it's by no means obvious, and most of the area of the player produces no menu. Since the function is there, but isn't consistent for the user, I'd probably classify this as a usability issue.
Now I know, I can work around it, but think it would be an improvement to MM if this was fixed.
Great work so far - and thanks for the replies
