Bugzilla – Bug 17239
Compilations with large number of contributor artists cannot be played

in 7.6 (post "one browser") If a "various artists" compilation has many artists, the web UI is rendered useless when displaying the album (e.g by browsing or searching for albums) - tracks cannot be seen and therefore played. There is no scroll bar visible if the artists list is so big it "drives it off the page". What is required is that ALL albums that are comps show "Various Artists" on the album screen rather than an infinitely long list of artists... The attachment illustrates the problem perfectly.

Although the problem screws up the web UI in some cases so badly that it can't be used, the more basic problem is that track artists should simply not be listed in the album information. Track artists should only be shown for individual tracks.
I agree with Jim.
For context menus this problem probably feeds through into SqueezePlay rendering ContextMenus useless, too: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87836
