Hey all, been using MusicBee for the first time this year and it's great!  Ran into a weird lil quirk or bug while updating the metadata in my library.  For some reason both The Argument & Instrument Soundtrack (top image, shown album & the album to its left) have the tracks weirdly spaced out and don't fold into new columns as I have in my preferences for this orientation & view (bottom image).  No other albums seem to be acting this way and I can't seem to find anything unusual in the metadata (like weird unicode or lots of spaces etc.) to account for it. Was wondering if anyone else has encountered this type of issue or has any solutions, thank you!

By the way, I'm running MusicBee Vers. 3.5.8447 on a Mac through Parallels & Windows 11 if that's needed info or relevant in any way

Hey Maxo, welcome to the forum.

This was recently discussed on this topic: https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=42019.0
Have you experimented with restricting the column number found on this setting?

Thanks so much for the reply!

Yes, I have "3" checked for the column restriction, and it's applied for seemingly all albums, except for these two in question.  I tried changing it to 2, 1 and non-restricted again to see if it changed anything, and all it did was adjust the space between the title and the duration, no change to the single-column w/ big line breaks look.

EDIT: I found the problem.. for whatever reason the track number metadata was copied into the disc number metadata, it eluded my eye!  Feel free to close the thread!

Nice, glad to see that you've gotten to the bottom of it.
You can perhaps edit the subject line on the first post to include a [resolved] or similar.
