Consider adding some of this to the JimH "weird and wonderful" solutions thread as well.

As long as a TrackInfo Plugin is not in use then double clicking in the Display Panel in Standard or Cover View will switch MC into Display View and when in Display View double clicking on the Display Panel  will take you back to Previous View.

This is definitely one of my all-time favorites.

FYI, the double-click toggle will work with track info plug-ins, so long as you're using Chromium as your browser engine, and not Microsoft Edge (set via Options/Tree &View/Web Browser).

Unfortunately with Chromium, spotlight will only show artist albums that you have in your library, instead of all albums in the artists catalog (Microsoft Edge displays all albums). So you are forced to choose which you prefer more: double-click to instantly toggle toggle between display & standard views, or having full spotlight functionality.

I brought this up in another thread a while back, but I never did get a reply as to whether this inconsistent behavior between browser engines is a bug, or is something that simply cannot be reconciled.  Maybe one of the devs can respond now?

That inconsistent behaviour is most likely down to google not having updated Chromium for ages, unlike the Edge Browser Engine which gets updated fairly frequently.
While creating and testing the latest versions of the MC Ultra TrackInfo Plugins there were times when Chromium was acting more like IE than Edge.

Ah, google openly publishes the release schedule and notes for both Chromium and Chrome.

Per the link from newsposter, it does appear that Chromium is kept up-to-date.  EnglishTiger may have meant to say it has not been updated within MC "for ages"?

Either way, it would be great if Matt, Hendrick, Craig, etc. would weigh-in and indicate that "yep this is a bug we need to fix" or "that's just the way it is" to clear up the mystery once and for all.  Thx in advance.

That link newsposter provided is for Chromium Builds released via the various Windows Channels which is the same route MS uses for Edge Browser Engine Updates; so the only time JRiver have to do anything is if and when either MS or Google make changes that stop MC interfacing with the relevant browser engine.

Good information ET, however, can one of the devs please take two minutes to say whether the discrepant behavior will ever get addressed or not?
