Now playing list jumps to top on drag and drop genre

[Triponi]

So I'm listening to songs in the now playing list (and for example I'm currently listening to song number 123 in the list). I decide that this song needs to have its genre changed, so using drag-and-drop, I drag the song onto the appropriate genre in the genre node. The song is updated fine. However the now playing list now jumps to the top. Hence I now have to scroll down my list to get back to number 123, where the now playing song is located. This jumping behaviour always happens even if you want to drag-and-drop any song on the list (not just the currently playing one).

Clearly this jump is entirely unnecessary and can be quite frustrating (especially if you have a lot of song to change).

I have only looked at genre, but I have found this thread which may describe a similar problem:

I am using the latest version of media monkey gold (downloaded yesterday). I have generated a debug log as specified in the how-to:

hope you can help

This happens when the container being dragged is a link, and the href is set to "#". Change the href to "javascript:void(0);" instead and that won't happen...

Thanks for taking the time to reply "guest"

However, I must admit that I found your response to be quite cryptic. Please excuse my ignorance but could you elaborate a bit? For example, now playing and drag and drop seen to be part of the core MM build rather than any scripting. So where are you suggesting that I change the href?

Thanks,

Triponi

I tried in MediaMonkey 3.1.0.1198 (available in Beta forum) and can't reproduce this problem. Drag & Drop of a Now Playing track onto a Genre node in the Explorer Tree doesn't update the Now Playlist track position.
