Column widths too large in auto-tag dialogbox [#18115]

[loondawg]

Sometimes the columns in the auto-tag dialogbox get so large the box becomes unusable. At first I thought it was a problem with the artwork since that took up almost the entire dialogbox.

No idea why this happens. It seems to come and go. I can provide a screenshot showing how ridiculously large it is.

Hi,
Please do, I am unable to replicate.

Actually, I think I figured out steps to reproduce.

In a location sub node viewing files with the following folder structure => Album Artist \ Album, first right-click on an album in the tree pane and select auto-tag. Note the correct column widths. Cancel or OK.

Now, right-click on an album in the tree pane and select auto-tag. You should get a dialog box with no files shown. Cancel.

Finally, right-click on the album you previously clicked in the tree pane and select auto-tag. The column widths are set to maximum widths.

I have not tested it, but I suspect if you have library files in the artist folder in this scenario the problem probably will not happen. I think the lack of music files in that directory is what's causing this.

Now, right-click on an album in the tree pane and select auto-tag. You should get a dialog box with no files shown. Cancel.

Out of curiosity I tried this.
Maybe you have a typo in the above sentence?

Anyway I finally triggered the situation you describe.
One I had triggered it once, the problem persisted, even after a reboot of MM5. ... thanks

Workaround while they are getting the problem sorted:

• right click the heading row of the bloated auto-tag panel, and select "automatic column widths"

Yes. It should have said click on an artist, not on an album.

OK, so what are the correct steps? Is it consistently replicable? I am unable to trigger the bug :-/
