GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 172226
Previous Track doesnt work properly
Last modified: 2006-03-22 11:17:55 UTC
Steps to Reproduce Open Rhythmbox Add few files to the library. Unselect shuffle and Repeat modes if they are selected Select the first track. and Select Control->play Actual Behaviour: Control-> preivous track item is enabled eventhough there is no previous track Expected Behaviour: Control-> previous track item should be disabled
Alas you have been confused by the interface. That menu item isn't actually previous track but instead is a copy of the buttons you see on real world CD players. It actually means "If I am not within the first five seconds of a track then jump to the start of a track. If I am within the first five seconds of a track then jump to the previous track". Now what should happen in the scenario you suggest (first five seconds of the first track in a non shuffled playlist) is an open point (should it be disabled for those first five seconds even though it can be used to go to the start of a track?). Personally I think this context sensitive behaviour is problematic...
As per conversation on IRC, marking as a dupe of bug #171917. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 171917 ***
