Whenever a dropdown box appears over the currently playing song info it leaves a ghost image behind the text. If I mouse over it, the ghost disappears. Happened in 1.02 and 1.13. Not sure if it's my set up or not.
Thanks for this awesome music solution. It is by far the best for large libraries..... Imho.

Yes, thanks for reporting this, someone else reported it a couple of days ago. It took me a while to reproduce it in some cases, it seems to happen much more in some system configuration, I don't know which ones. I found that for some reason, using strange utf8 characters, like "????" makes it happen much more reliably.
It is a bug revealed by the new gtk versions that use client-side windows.
It can be worked around by setting the environment variable GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS to 1 before running gmusicbrowser :
you can also set it by adding the line :
at the top of /usr/bin/gmusicbrowser, before "use Gtk2".
I've just fixed it in git (in both v1.0.x and master) by simplifying the code used to draw these labels. I actually don't know why I made it so complicated in the first place, I guess I know gtk better now. By the way, it happens with Title/Artist/Album because I make them scrollable in case the text is too long.

That worked perfectly for me. Thank you very much.
