Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] Play Queue Bounty

[Peter Schmidt <peterschm gmail com>]

Great work, Johathan! Looks marvelous! 

- A tiny little bug I spotted is that the Ctrl+Right (next track
shortcut) does not work when there is a single track in the queue. The
next button works, though.

- I also had James' experience with the tracks not getting deleted
from the queue, but I cannot replicate it.

- Dragging a track from the queue to a playlist causes playback to stop.
