Sure. Behavior in 5 is a little complex, so let me know if this is unclear (and apologies for the length).
Action:
Press the F8 key (bound in Options/Hotkeys to action "Go to the artists node")
MM4/expected result:
Location bar at the top changes to "Entire Library > Artist & Album Artist"
Main window shows all tracks, sorted by artist
Navigation tree expands the Artist & Album Artist Node
Focus moves to the Artist & Album Artist Node in the Navigation tree (keyboard arrow keys will now navigate the tree)
MM5 result 1:
Nothing happens for 3-5 seconds, usually closer to 3*
Location bar at the top changes to "Home > Music > Artists"
Main window shows all tracks, sorted by artist
Navigation tree is unchanged (nothing expanded if it wasn't already)
A) If focus was already on the navigation tree: focus remains where it was (instead of moving to artists)
B) If focus was anywhere else: focus either remains where it was or vanishes, requiring tab key or mouse click to show up
MM5 result 2:
Nothing happens. This is harder to reproduce, but fairly common.
MM5 result 3:
Error dialog offering to Restart, Restart in safe mode, or Continue. This is even harder to reproduce, but does happen occasionally.
*Noted both because this is instantaneous in MM4, and because any keyboard action during this time will cancel the operation entirely, with unpredictable results
I've tried with various collections and nodes enabled/disabled, and with the "show all subnodes" and "focus tree nodes when browsing content" options selected and deselected. None of it seems to affect the behavior.
