And I can start D&D files to the new playlist. This was designed like this in early MM5 alfa state and has been always like this AFAIR.. Could you elaborate what is the 'regression' ? image.png (155,998 bytes) image.png (155,998 bytes)

I don't see a regression here and if you mean that ESC should cancel the task, this is questionable, but could be.. Lowering priority and moved target to 2026..
