Micro player "now playing" popup issue [#18917]

After minimizing MM5 to Microplayer, if I mouse-over the micro player, the "Now Playing" pop-up will appear, but only the first time I mouse over it. Any subsequent mouse-overs show nothing (no pop-up at all). This happens if I maximize MM5 and then re-minimize to micro player as well.

Version 5.0.3.2608

EDIT: This occurs in 5.0.3.2609 as well.

Which Skin are you using? I'm unable to reproduce on 2609 with Material Design.

Shades of Grey. Switched to Metro M (Classic) and still seeing the behavior.

Do you have the pop-up enabled under Tools > Options > Player? If not, try enabling it.

Yes, all three options are checked.

As I mentioned, it pops up once, then never after unless I close the application and re-open it.

EDIT: Scratch that, sometimes even exiting the application and re-launching it doesn't get it to come back.

OK, so... complete reinstall? What is recommended?

You can try to capture this in a debug log (step 4b) and attach the log to a Support Ticket: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=86643

Maybe it will help a developer see why this happens in your setup.
