Summary0018789: MM5 (5.0.3.2603) contextual filtering gives inaccurate and inconsistent results.
DescriptionMM5 (5.0.3.2603) contextual filtering gives inaccurate and inconsistent results.
I did repetitive operations with the same simple search string. I got inconsistent results.
See below for a debug dump and also video of this happening.
Reported within Support Ticket 3505 (last couple of posts in that ticket:

From the Ticket:
* you show 14 albums with contextual filter of john col, when Column Browser is off ... all are expected, ie John Coltrane name is in album or albumartist tags
* but you show 192 albums with Column Browser visible, but inactive (seems to become All Fields filter when Column Browser is visible ??? ... is this expected?)
* but repeated filtering using the the same filter string gives 35 albums, and then 119 albums using the same filter ... ie. is unreliable and therefore useless

This issue persists in 2027.0.0.3521! Something is off with album filtering as the search results differ depending on whether the column filter is active or not. It's trivial to replicate:
1 Navigate to Music > Albums [grid (by album)]
2 Type 'beat'
--> 49 albums found
3 Enable column filter
4 Type 'beat'
--> 102 albums found!!
