the "focus" of the playlist currently playing is not set to the song currently playing. if u use shuffle you have scroll all over to figure out which row is bold.
this is very simple to reproduce. just have a bunch of songs in a playlist. play one song. hit shuffle. and then hit "next song". it will jump to the next song. but the playlist will not adjust the focus.
this should at least be made an option so users know where in the playlist they are.
playlist window focus is not on "now playing" song

i believe you are looking at the list that appears when you first click on the playlist in the tree that you created.
that is not going to do anything but show you the songs on the list.
there is a now playing at the top in the folder tree above the playlists, click that and it shows you the songs that are being played, it will move to the bolded song every time the song changes.
you can change the order of the songs in the other list and that will not mess with the playing now list. you might say the playing now list is the batter standing at the plate and the other list is the batter standing in the dugout.

I think this is how one expects this to work - the currently playing track is bolded and is scrolled into your view as soon as it starts playback. However, your current selection of tracks isn't modified, just imagine selecting several tracks, e.g. for sending to a portable mp3 player, and that selection would be lost with every new track started?

Editing will be hard
For editing purposes it would be annoying if MM start scrolling around lists for showing the current playing song highlited. I do understand the desire and as such I would opt for an option to do this or not.

malibu. i am on version 2.1 build 1.596. when you play stuff look on the top-left and right underneath "file" there will be a "now playing". click it and the right gets filled up with mp3s.
when u play stuff here in shuffle mode the list changes appropriately so that the "focus" allows the currently playing mp3 to be visible somewhere in the screen. it could be at the top or at the bottom. but it is there.
