Cannot drag currently playing song to playlist if find filter is enabled

Cannot drag currently playing song to playlist if find filter is enabled

Before adding a track to a large playlist, I like to see if there's already a song by that artist in the playlist. If you are viewing the playlist, cmd + f to filter to the artist, and then try to drag the currently playing track to the playlist, the track should be added but isn't. The grabbed track displays the '+' next to the cursor to indicate the track should be added to the playlist... but to add to the playlist, you must clear the filter.

 

This worked in the previous version. The track can be added through other means while filter is enabled, for example by right clicking and selecting the playlist, or using the 'add' button if the track is a suggested track.

Actually looks like you can't drag a currently playing song into the playlist list-of-songs if any of the sort filters are on other than the default custom order. So if you sort by date added, you can't grab the current song and add it in any more. But, you can drag it up to the title of the playlist over in the upper left list of playlists area, so that's a decent workaround, it's just not as easy/convenient as dragging it into the list of songs (which clearly should work, it's showing an '+' sign when you try).
