Bug #191
Keyboard focus is not updated properly after editing playlist
100%
Description
If I reorder the playlist and then use Alt+Q to queue a song for playback, the new occupant of the song's old index in the playlist gets queued, rather than the song I currently have selected.
Similarly, if I press the Up or Down arrow following a drag-and-drop, the new selected row will be relative to the old location rather than the one which appears selected.
Selecting another track and then re-selecting the desired song (but not simply clicking on it while it's already selected) fixes the issue. (I assume, because Alt+Q and arrow key motion uses some cached position value which is updated by some signal like cursor-changed)

The problem is that there is not enough information sent along with the "playlist update" hook for the UI plugin to update the keyboard focus correctly when items are added/moved/removed from the playlist. It's a longstanding issue (at least since I rewrote the playlist code for version 2.2) and unfortunately there isn't a quick fix for it. I think the best fix is to keep track of the keyboard focus in core (as we already keep track of the selected items). This will require an API change, so it will not be fixed until version 3.4.
