Description Robert Orzanna 2016-08-21 18:27:42 UTC 
Dear all, 

I noticed that pressing the space bar does not pause the currently played song (as expected) but instead restarts it from the beginning.

Is this an intentional design choice or rather a bug?

Thankfully,

~Robert

Neither.  Pressing the space bar while a track list has input focus will activate the selected row, which starts playing it from the start, whether it's already playing or not.
