Music Store link arrows in iTunes 5

I found a small bug in iTunes 5 regarding the Music Store arrow links.

If the new Search Bar is active in the Library, control-clicking an arrow in a playlist (including the Library, itself) will NOT display the associated song, artist or album! Instead, you are taken to the Library with absolutely no filtering! Turn off the Search Bar though, and everything works fine (like it did in iTunes 4)!

I see that in version 5.0.1, they fixed the problem ... "kind of."

With the Search Bar turned on in the Library, clicking an arrow in the Library window now works as expected. BUT, if you go to a playlist and click an arrow, the problem remains the same. (Well, at least it's a start!)

I tested this on both Mac and PC -- it works the same on both versions.

Having the search bar on in the Library is the key. I find that if the bar is off in the Library, you will filter by the artist or album regardless of whether or not the bar is turned on in any of the playlists.

And I agree, 5.0.1 only partially fixed the search bar/option-click bug.
