There's an issue with "View: Show Compact Player" hotkey.
In compact player mode, if you open caption bar button menu, another hotkey is shown for "Switch to Main Player" command though your hotkey still works. But if you start MB in compact player mode, your hotkey minimizes MB instead of switching to main player. Reassigning the hotkey makes no differences.
that should be fixed for the next v3 update

Now playing assistant launched from mini player has problem drawing tracks if you scroll rapidly back and forth.
Try double click a track, scroll up, double click another track, scroll down, play another one...
then you get this jumbled image:
i tried this from the mni-player but cant reproduce so far. Was it the Artists/ Albums or Genres tab you used?

Any tab. As long as a track is playing, just scrolling up and down jumbles track list.
still not able to reproduce. I dont want to spend much more time on this one but one thing i was wondering. Does it happen in the Playing Tracks list if you expand that from the mini-player

Sometimes when I click a song, the player freezes and won't react. (and it won't crash either). The only thing I can do is kill the process in task manager and start musicbee again. No error log either.

I've been using it for a month now, and has happened 3 times to me.
could you send me your settings file (help/support/view settings)
which panel view were you using (track details, album and tracks, album artwork or artists) and do you literally mean you just single click on a track or do you mean double click to initiate playback?

Just happened again (sent you PM with screenshot)

- The hotkey's now working fine. But still "Switch to main player" command shows another one. With a fresh installation, it shows no hotkey for that command even though one is assigned.

- The mini player issue is fixed. But there's another one. "automatically close this window" setting doesn't work.

How can I change the look of the library explorer in 3.0?

In 2.5 it looks like this: -

The entire list fits on the screen with room to spare.

In 3.0 it looks like this and has a scrollbar as the list doesn't fit on the screen: -

Is there any way to make it just a basic list like in 2.5? Is there any way to be able to expand each genre to see the artists, like in 2.5?

Thanks!

Your second screenshot is not the Library Explorer, it's the Thumbnail Browser.  Try activating Library Explorer from the layout configuration panel.

The Artwork (Selected) display does not properly follow the selection once a track has been selected and is in lowlight mode.  GIF: http://i.imgur.com/VhiVvOh.gif

You probably should add "v" to the end of your link to convert it to html5 for faster loading

Why does the speaker icon on sidebar player always show 10, not 100, at full volume even with enough space?

A couple of issues:

 I can't rate tracks from the playlist view since I switched to 3.0

 There's no more button to switch between "selected tracks" and "now playing" in the "now playing sidebar"

You can do this by using the menu at the top of the track details section (Look for the little arrow)

I can't see what you're referring to.
