Pressing a key on music library doesn't bring artist [#8295]

This is new to the 1419 build. When I'm in the music library for example if I want to go to "Red Hot Chili Peppers", I hit the 'R' key on my keyboard. This doesn't work on the new 1419 build.

What is active when you press the key. I just checked with 1421 in the Media Tree and it works as expected.

Not the media tree, the music library. I select "Show Art" so the library shows only album arts, then I sorted with "Album Artist" (this happens with other sorts too) then I click on one of my albums. After that since I have many albums in my library, I hit one key on the keyboard to find my desired artist.

The value of details.
With build 1421 it works for me in the Art, Art with Details and Details view for the sorted column.

Same problem with 1422. This problem existed in one of previous versions. I reported this and it got fixed. Now it's happening again.

Tried again on 1422:
- Open Art view
- Sort on Album Artist
- Select song
- Type Letter
and it jumps to the letter.

Doesn't work for me. I restarted my PC just in case. It didn't help. I can confirm by making a screencast and posting it here if you'd like.

It works for me, maybe you are not selecting the first song? Because if you select artist U2 and type 'a' for ABBA then it doesn't work, because ABBA is precedent.

I know how it works. I've been using MM for at least 2 years now. I can assure you there's a problem with the current release. Just to make you sure, tomorrow I'm going to create a video for you.

Tried again in 1423, no luck. The other problem seems fixed but not this

Hi there alirezanoori, I'm using v1423 and it works fine for me, but it always has.
