Hello, I'm having a problem with changing genres in 2024.2.0.3154 (Gold) on Win11. If I right-click on a song and hit properties the usual properties dialog comes up. I click the down arrow on genre and the genre list comes up. I click on an item on the list, but the new genre is not accepted; the old one remains. The only way I can change the genre is by manually typing it in. I can easily make changes using the drop down lists for other fields such as artist. Any help would be appreciated.

I can't reproduce this on 3184 which is the final release for 2024.2.0, can you please update to it and try again?

Same on 3184. Maybe I'll try going back to an earlier version and see if that helps.

I'm unable to reproduce, does it still happen after a PC restart? If so, please 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

This will allow a developer to analyze why this happens on your setup and fix this in a future release.

I restarted a couple of times and even uninstalled and reinstalled MM, all without success. Then on a whim a few minutes ago, I closed a couple of open programs and it started working. There must be some sort of a conflict. Let me keep an eye on this for a while and see if I can isolate the problem. If so, I'll report back. Thanks for your help.

Okay, I have determined that this issue occurs whenever the MM window is in any state other than maximized or minimized. It is reproducible 100% of the time. (My earlier post about closing some programs solving the problem should be disregarded.)

Hi,
I used latest version from https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewt ... 86639&sd=d and could not replicate.

here are steps I tested:
1. Opened track properties
2. Used TAB to get to Genre
3. Pressed DOWN ARROW -> List Shows
4. Selected Desired Genre -> ENTER
5. Genre Stick

Okay, thanks. Not a big deal because I can easily go back to maximized or minimized window to restore normal behavior. I'll continue to try to sort it out. I'm sure there's some weird combination of apps I'm using that causes a conflict.

Ok, but keep us posted if you stumble on something interesting that fall out from your assumption.
