Hi all

When adding tracks to playback queue (context menu) from "Playlist Search" (Ctrl+F) or "Media Library Search" (Library / search) window or Album List:

- Playback queue index is not displayed in the “Playing” column of Default UI / Playlist View
- The track that is being played is not marked as so (the little triangle is not in the “Playing” column of Default UI / Playlist View)
- It's not possible to get focus on the track that is being played by double clicking on the status bar
- "Playback / Cursor follows Playback" is not working
- The last track of the playback queue is played twice if the "Playback / Playback Follows Cursor" option is chosen

The tracks are played in the desired order.

v0.9.5.3

I don't use Default UI, but it should work the same way.
Some of your points are probably meant to be that way (unfortunetly...it makes sense, but is not practical).

Files in the Queue, are waiting to be played...and when that happens, they disappear from the playback cue thus not showing there, not being able to focus in it, etc..

When the tracks are added to the playback queue from the playlist, behaviour is not that way (basically remove "not" from every sentence I wrote in the first post).

This is a limitation of the playback queue design: unless you add tracks to the queue from a playlist, their playlist locations are not known.
I can see how this is getting annoying with queue indexes of tracks visible by default, I'll probably add some kind of workaround so queuing tracks from playlist search etc works as most people expect it to.

I can reproduce.

Although when queuing from a library view (album list, Library Search):

...All of these things are more than likely functioning as expected, considering the track(s) enqueued aren't coming from the playlist anywhere.

That makes sense indeed (like Dark_Angel wrote too) when adding tracks to playback queue from "Media Library Search" window or Album List.
Adding tracks to playback queue from "Playlist Search" window should be the same as adding from the playlist - one would expect so I think.
