Thanks for this thread. I have started playing with MM5 sync, without any experience of MM4 sync. Up until now I had not been able to understand how the controls on the "Auto-Sync -> Device" were supposed to work. ... I thought that the left and right hand panels must have been independent. I didn't notice that the check boxes had three states ... Maybe I am at fault, but I think that the UI needs better explanation. ... The MM5 version is even more deficient that the MM4 version (*see note below)
Michael, like Ludek, I cannot replicate what you are reporting. ... maybe post an image? so he can be sure he understands what you are saying.
other observations
The MM5 version has one improvement over MM4: the "hide unselected" checkbox is now active when the item is check on the lhs, which wasn't the case with MM4.
But the MM5 version lost the tool-tips, which hopefully is just a bug, as it is not a helpful omission .. (ie. now missing "nnn audio files (x:y:z) selected" on the lhs, and also the track contents when hovering over an album on the rhs)
And I think that the UI would be clearer if you restored, and improved, the missing label as shown below. I think that would have helped me understand how sync selection worked:

And it would be good if you added a facility like the "Show At Most" thing from autoplaylists, ie sync at most n tracks|megabytes|minutes.
