Hi all,
here is a small one.

Go to Music, select View -> "Cover Flow". Click with mouse on a cover, nothing happens.
Works only for CR on the keyboard or 'OK' on the remote, therefore few people might have noticed. But for touch screens its a problem.

Simple "cover" views works fine.

Confirmed.

Is this intentional, or a bug?

Intentional I would say.

I once tried to implement this because it was already reported: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/black-glass-456/change-coverflow-view-98650/

But it was painful to calculate items under the mouse so I gave up for now. I can make CoverFlow react to mouse click and open current item when you click wherever in the CoverFlow area. Problem is that selected (center) item is just a small portion of entire flow so it didn't seem natural. I wanted to do it correctly and make mouse click work just over items (images) - when you click on selected item it would open it, when you click on other items in flow it would make clicked item selected. But that requires lot of work

SE: Maybe a solution:
Rasterize the screen in proportion to the skin properties of the cover flow resulting in something like:
|-|--|---|----|----|--------|----|----|---|--|-|

The first 5 and the last 5 (depends on skin settings) scroll 1-5 entries left/right and the one in the middle opens the current item. I guess it does not have to be exact, but a little tweaking should make a useable design.
