Summary0012888: Editing 'Type' causes tracks to disappear from search results
DescriptionIf the user searches for an Album and edits the 'Type' for a track on the Album, then after clicking 'OK', the Album remains in the view, but the Track disappears.

Refreshing the view (by searching for the track again) causes it to re-appear, but it shouldn't be necessary to refresh the view.

Martin indicated that: "I think that Track/Album is not disappeared, but moved in the list, because search result is ordered for tracks by type ASC, title ASC and for albums by type ASC, album ASC."

However, it's not a question of the track having moved--it actually disappears from the view.

Further investigation shows that what is actually happening is that when the Type is changed, MMA treats the track as if it belongs to a different album, which it shouldn't.

For example, the tracks below will be represented as a single album by a single artist:
ArtistA
AlbumA
Track1 Type:Music
Track2 Type:Music
Track3 Type:Music

BUT, if the user edits Track2 to Type:Classical Music, then MMA search for ArtistA will return:
ArtistA
ArtistA

Similarly, MMA search for AlbumA will return:
AlbumA
AlbumA

i.e. MMA is needlessly splitting the search results.

Steps To Reproduce1 Search for an album and click the album
