Yes, confirmed, "cursor follows playback" is enabled. Regarding custom keyboard shortcuts, I'll have to check if and what I might have changed.

Thanks for your feedback so far. 😊

Confirmed, page-up/down keys are customarily configured to play the next/previous playlist entry. It's so long ago I made the setup, I forgot and assumed it to be the default.

But these settings don't explain/affect the different behaviour of the playlist cursor in the versions of UI Columns, when advancing at the visible bottom/top of the current playlist view.

In UI Columns v3.0, when the cursor is at the top of the currently visible playlist items, advancing to the previous entry will scroll the playlist down by just one item, every time, contrary to v1.0. However, when at the bottom of the visible playlist entries, advancing to the next entry will scroll the playlist up for one entry, then advancing to the next entry again scrolls the playlist for a couple of items, centering the currently highlighted/playing entry, just like v1.0 has done ever since. That is what keeps me wondering.

If the item is partially visible, it will scroll the smallest amount needed to make it fully visible. If the item is fully off screen, it is supposed to instead centre it vertically. Seems it is indeed not doing that when repeatedly playing the previous track in this scenario, so there must be a bug in the logic. I'll check, thanks.

Ah yes, that makes perfectly sense. I remember that in the past, after changing my monitor to one with slightly more screen space, but same resolution, I had to adjust the bottom border of my playlist to fix the playlist forward transition when advancing to the next item.

The top of my playlist window ends at the top of foobar2000's user screen space, so the topmost row is always perfectly aligned, hence UI Columns 3.0 advances the playlist always for just one row when going to a previous item.

But as you stated, the logic kinda fails at the bottom of the playlist. I just zoomed in very closely with Windows' magnifier (press Win+Plus-key a couple of times) to fine-adjust the bottom border of the playlist, so that the current bottom playlist entry would be perfectly aligned. But I can get it to work to progress for one row on every second advance only.

If you could find a fix for that, I'd be more than happy to finally upgrade after all these years. Please feel free to get in touch if I can assist or run any tests. 😊
