rhythmbox removes song from library when external visualization is closed

[Ryan Hatfield]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

I am using Ubuntu 10.10 with a 5 day old, 64 bit installation. Intel core2 CPU 8GB ram.

the output of apt-cache policy rhythmbox:

rhythmbox:
  Installed: 0.13.1-0ubuntu6
  Candidate: 0.13.1-0ubuntu6
  Version table:

I haven't installed any plugins for rhythem box or changed any settings. I didn't even import any music, it just found it in my music folder.

to duplicate the issue:

when running with View -> small display checked I open the visualizations window. When i click the close button on the visualizations window, it moves onto the next song, closes the window, re opens the window with the next song and the current song is out of the library and requires a restart of the program to get back into the library (is it auto scanning the music folder i assume?)

I realize the importance of this bug is not huge, but its a bug none the less.

I am running compiz but other than that, i have made no alterations to my Gnome/Ubuntu installation.

And by 'running compiz' i just mean i installed the compizconfig settings manager and enabled desktop cube.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.

This same thing happens to me as well but in the library.
After reinsering the track manually into the library the message "Output window was closed" appears under "Properties" with a red ("no-entry") sign next to it. It seems that closing the output window causes a fatal error?

Running rhythmbox 0.13.3-0ubuntu5 under Natty (Unity). It indeed is not huge, but it can be quite annoying indeed.

I have the same issue, when closing visualisation window system changes to next song.

I can confirm: this issue still applies in Ubuntu Natty (64-bit here).
In my case, the song is removed from my library only until I restart Rhythmbox.
