Help, Cursor follows playback is misbehaving.

As the title says, I would like some help with "cursor follows playback" since it is misbehaving.
By misbehaving I mean that "cursor follows playback" does not land the highlighted track in the middle of the playlist, as I expect it to,
the highlighted track is either on the top of the playlist or on the bottom.

Sometimes it helps to restart foobar2000, but it can take several restarts to make it behave normally.

This issue is present in foobar2000 v1.3.17 and v1.4 beta 15.

I did a clean portable install and the issue still persist.

The only component I installed is foo_playcount v3.0.2.
Then I made a new theme in the scratchbox and applied it.

This issue was brought up in the JScript Panel thread last year, or perhaps the year prior. Nobody had a solution, other than to restart fb2k repeatedly until the highlighted track displays where it belongs, which you have already figured out. I hope that Peter can fix this someday.
