Playlist weirdness on Android phone

[swizzle]

In landscape mode, the playlist behaves itself.

In portrait mode it is apt to vanish without a trace, making this user's experience full of woe.

To replicate, switch from playback screen to radio, add a station to playlist, switch back to playback screen, and no playlist.

The Mi A2 Lite has a 5.84" (14.83 cm) display with a screen resolution of 1080 x 2280 pixels, if that helps.

The playlist doesn’t automatically display in portrait mode, it only shows when you scroll up or press the track name which will go to the currently playing track/item. I can’t really see this behavior changing.

If that’s not what you’re talking about then go to http://viewportsizes/mine/ to get the size moode sees (it’ll be 1/2 that or smaller) and we can see if there’s an edge case happening but we test typical android screen sizes. 

Oh, the context menu on that screen needs a "load playlist" as well as its "save playlist" option, to make it all a tad easier to use.

I can’t see this changing either, there’s already a way to load playlists and by the same logic someone else could argue for “load album” or “add radio station” or whatever. It’s like 2 clicks to get to your playlists if you don’t use the folder view, that’s not really an onerous burden.

I can see the merit in having “play next” (insert into play queue after current track) in addition to “play later” (what it does now which is to append it to the queue) for context menus in the library but it’s not on the todo list afaik and I haven’t seen anyone asking for it.
