Didn't know exactly where to put this and how to phrase the title better.
The problem/bug/oddity relates to when viewing a folder containing lots of files in "list view" there are these "page up/down" buttons/arrows.

Using BlueTwo Wide as skin:
When the "page down" button is highlighted and you navigate left with keyboard/remote you return to the list with the correct file highlighted.
But. When navigating left after going to last page the "function" menu is activated instead of going back to the list view.

Using Foofaraw 16:9 as skin:
Whenever I navigate too far right, be it in list, icon or big icon view (when there are several pages) the navigation gets stuck at the up/down buttons (pressing directions doesn't help, only going back a folder and then back in) and I have to use a mouse to get out of the "page up/down" zone.

Now, the reason I put this in the same post and under general support is because I believe this oddity/bug relates to MP general UI handling.

This has by the way been present in MP for years. Sorry for not bringing it up earlier

Hi!

I'm annoyed by the same behavior. And I found that it happens with all skinns I have tried, so I agree that it must be a MP-problem.
But I only experience this when browsing in Music or Picture. The only way to escape is to restart MP...
This happens in both RC2 and RC3 (the only versions I have used).

I really hope there will be a fix for this.
All in all I'm very pleased with MP!
