iTunes 12.0.1: "Repeat" button disappears or overlaps song titles

On iTunes 12.0.1

I cannot find the repeat button that is supposed to show up next to the shuffle button here. It would disappear if I do not repeat the song.

The only way to get it back is to go to Controls > Repeat. This isn't really my favorite thing to do and requires extra steps. But if I do this, and don't repeat songs again, it would disappear once more.


Also, it sometimes overlaps like this:

Making the button "unclickable".


Are these bugs or are they fixable?


Thank you.

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Agree. Still on Mavericks 10.9.5, but the "Repeat" function is only available going through Controls. The button will stick while playing that album or playlist, but then disappears if you turn it off. PITA. Please put the button back permanently. STOP HIDING EVERYTHING, or at least give us the option to reconfigure.


I also hate the new look. Dull.


Thanks, Apple.

I cannot find the repeat song button in iTunes on my iPhone 6. I'm thinking it used to be in iTunes on my phone. Why should I have to plug my phone into my computer and to repeat a song? Why does apple keep changing simple functionality and marking it harder to use? I find the same problem with copying text messages- you can't tap and copy. They are making me want to switch to another phone
