Thank you for your bug report. Unfortunately, I have to close it because you described the normal behaviour of an application (Banshee always jumps to the current song beginning when clicking on the "previous" button, like every other media player).

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

This bug is valid because in rhythmbox if you press the previous
button in the first 2 seconds of the song, it skips to the previous
one.
In banshee you have to press it even before half a second is passed.
This happens after you've skipped some songs and played, not since the
beginning of the banshee session

[Mohamed Amine Ilidrissi (ilidrissi.amine)]

Can you precise when it happens? Is there a "set" number of songs you must play for the bug to activate?

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

Well, not really, try this
- start playing
- skip 10-15 songs quickly (next)
- then hit back quickly 5-6 times
- then let the music play for at least 5 seconds
- hit back
RESULT: the song restarts. OK!
- now hit back again at 0:01s
RESULT: the song restarts. FAIL!
- try again

to go to the previous song you must hit very quickly the back button 3-4 times

[Mohamed Amine Ilidrissi (ilidrissi.amine)]

Okay. Marking this bug as confirmed.

It looks there is on maverick a 4seconds delay before swithching between previous to repeat. Could anyone confirm ?

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

I've just done a clean reinstall, the bug is still present, but not
necessarly at the first try.
Maybe you have to go back by some songs, but at a certain point you
won't be able to go back again unless you rapidly hit the button.

I noticed that when the bug triggers, after pressing back normally the
album art next to the play control is toggled
