Bugzilla – Bug 348
Inconsistent navigation for artists with only one album

If you start at Browse Artist 1 right arrow takes you to the artist list Now you scroll down to the desired band (let's say R.E.M). 1 right arrow gets you to the list of albums by artist (R.E.M.) Screen EVEN IF YOU ONLY HAVE ONE ALBUM. Scroll to album (let's say Eponymous) 1 right arrow gets you to the songs on the album Scroll to 12. (It's the end of the world...) 1 right arrow gets you to the song name screen (numbered song on top, info at bottom). Now if you have more than 1 R.E.M. Album, everything is fine- 4 left arrows will get you back to Browse Artist. But if you have only one album by an artist, 4 left arrows will overshoot since you SKIP the albums by artist screen on the way back. It's a small thing but really gets my muscle memory confused (since sometimes there is an extra left arrow to get back..). Probably a nit, but at least I'm not crazy. -Norm Meyrowitz
I am not going to comment on how crazy you are, but the skipping of levels when going back appears fixed in the 6.0 beta. :) Please confirm.
This was probably fixed as a collateral result of teh home menu rework. There is now nothing specific about browsing forward or back through any given type. Anyway, I've also tested and can confirm. marking a fixed
There are 536 bugs in the database with targets of '---' that were fixed prior to new year 2006. I am setting them to targets of 6.2.1 to keep them from showing up in my queries.
Routine bug db maintenance; removing old versions which cause confusion. I apologize for the inconvenience.
