Confirmation of problem
--------------------------------
I confirmed that the problem behaviour also occurs in Fedora 10 which also uses
Rhythmbox 0.11.6 but I cannot find a corresponding Fedora bug report. This
would nevertheless seem to confirm that it is an upstream bug.
I also described the bug on my local Ubuntu mailing list. Two people
confirmed the bug on their Ubuntu 8.10 systems and no-one gave a
contrary experience (ie where they did not see the problem behaviour).
A small oops: I mentioned the url of the upstream bug possibly
associated with the origin of this bug and this was automatically added
as a remote bug watch. But please bear in mind that this is not the
actual upstream bug associated with this current bug report. I don't
know whether an upstream bug actually exists yet or not.
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
Problem versions:
-----------------------
Rhythmbox 0.11.6 (apt-cache policy gives Installed:
0.11.6svn20081008-0ubuntu4.2)
Ubuntu 8.10, Jaunty Alpha-2
Regression behaviour (and possible clue to the bug's origin)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem does not occur in Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 (Rhythmbox 0.11.5) so this is a
-regression-.
- However, there was a different problem (I will give more details in a
comment) with this version and I am now thinking that perhaps the fix for that
problem ended up creating this new bug. This is just idle speculation on my
part but it may be just also be a clue.

Steps to reproduce problem symptoms:
---------------------------------------------------
1. Open Rhythmbox (First close existing session if already open)
2. Place one or two songs into the Play Queue from say your Music library or
from an audio CD. (Right-click on each song and "Add to Play Queue")
3. Play the queue. (Highlight Play Queue in left sidebar and then click on
the Play toolbar button.
Results of this step:
The Play button visually changes to its depressed state and the songs in
the queue play. Each song disappears from the queue as it finishes playing.
This is the expected (correct) behaviour so far. *But notice the
following.* When the queue has finished and there are no more songs shown in
the queue, the Play button still remains depressed. This is unexpected
behaviour to my mind and it may be associated with the main problem. Since
there are no more songs to play, I would expect the Play button to revert to
its normal unpressed state.
4. Once the queue has finished playing, click the Play button to change it
back to its normal state. *Note:* This step does not seem to affect the
outcome whether it is done or not.
5. Create another short play queue as described above in step 2.
6. Try to play the new queue as described in step 3 above.
Results of this step:
Although you can press and unpress the Play button, the song is not
played. This is the main unexpected behaviour symptom of this bug report. I
would expect that the new queue can be played just like the first one.
