Hi, I just noticed that the selected file information in the status bar of my library browser disappears when I select files and the tag of a file is changed (e.g. by auto lyrics lookup or by editing the rating of the file). When I delete the selected files in this state, it displays a negative amount of files selected in the Status Bar.

Here is an example: I have selected 11 files. After a few seconds (probably due to tag edit by lyrics lookup), the status bar looks like in the first picture, with the selected file information missing.
When I delete the files, the status bar says I have -10 files selected. Probably it is -11 plus the one file it automatically selects below the deleted files.



I'm on build 3074 non-debug. I can't say if the problem was present on earlier builds.
Let me know if you can reproduce the issue or if I need to provide further information.

I'm having a hard time reproducing a negative count. It was seen briefly, but immediately disappeared. Please capture this in a debug log (step 4b) and attach the log to a Support Ticket: viewtopic.php?t=86643

The loss of selection is seen, presumably because Preview and/or Lyrics panel update: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=21353

Hi Lowlander, thanks for the reply. I will try to catch the problem over the weekend.

By the way, your Mantis bug description sounds like the issue is related to auto lookup only. But I also was able to reproduce the bug by editing any other tag like rating or track title:

Select one or more files in the library browser first.
Then change a tag on any file, can also be a completely different file from the playlist.
Status bar loses info on selected files.

Another trick: When you have reproduced the problem, you can Ctr + click on another file in the library browser to select it in addition to the previous selected file(s).
-> The Status bar should now show "Selected: 1 file..."

Hi, I tried to capture the phenomenon but the debug version of 3078 crashes a few seconds after I start MM.
I sent you a log with Ticket #8014 for the crash. The log for the status bar thing has to wait until the debug version works again on my PC, sorry.
