Summary0022197: Lyrics: Discrepancies between Preview & Lyrics panel / Playing [Lyrics] / Playing [Album]
DescriptionWhen no Lyrics (neither static nor synced) are found by auto-lookup, the Preview shows Lyrics no found, but Lyrics shows Lookup (synced) instead.

Presumably as Lyrics lookup just finished and found nothing, both windows should show that no Lyrics were found?

UPDATE: the issue is that the Preview Window accurately reflects lyric status, but the Lyrics panel / Playing [Lyrics] / Playing [Album] don't update to reflect changes in lyric status. This issue occurs e.g. when MM is configured to prefer Synced lyrics and synced lyrics are looked up (manually or automatically) while the track is playing.
i.e. the fact that the 'Lookup (synced)' link appears is one effect of the issue, but there may be others (different lyrics displaying among the different panels).

2) In relation to this issue, in cases where the Preview window shows lyrics:
a) Clicking 'Lookup (synced)' in the Playing [Album] view doesn't work (this is probably a moot point--i.e. this won't be an issue once 1) is fixed)
b) Clicking 'Lookup (synced)' in the Lyrics panel looks up the lyrics, but activates the editor (it shouldn't).

3) Very often, when a track has unsaved Lyrics but no synced lyrics, the Preview window fails to show 'Lookup (synced)' even though there are no synced lyrics (although both the Lyrics panel and the Playing [Album] view show 'Lookup (synced)'

Here's another example of synced lyrics being looked up during playback but not reflected in other panels.

Here's an example of MM presumably attempting to look up synced lyrics and failing, but continuing to show the Lookup (synced button) in all but the Preview panel.

And an example in which regular lyrics exist, and synced lyrics are looked up succesfully (but shown only in the Preview panel).

There are still cases where the different portions of the UI don't match:
2c) Clicking 'Lookup (synced)' in Preview (Playing) looks up the lyrics and sends them directly to the 'Saved' state. They should be in the 'unsaved' state since the user doesn't have the opportunity to view them before they get saved!
2d) If automated lyrics lookup is enabled (but not 'save metadata'), the synced lyrics are looked up and appear as expected in Preview [Playing] as 'unsaved'. BUT if the user opens 'Properties' for the track (e.g. to edit the timing), the Synced lyrics don't appear at all!
2e) Considering bugs 2c) and 2d) the Properties dialog will never show lyrics looked up in build 3530 in the 'usaved' state. However, if synced lyrics from an earlier build are in the 'Unsaved' state, then edits to them are lost (e.g. if the user deletes the lyrics and commits/saves the change, the 'unsaved' lyrics remain as they were)!

3c) If tracks have Lyrics but no synced lyrics and MM is configured to prefer synced lyrics, then the Lyrics, Playing [Album], Preview [Playing] views all include a 'Lookup (synced)' link, but Preview [Selected] does not!

note: I'm not sure, but I think that 2d/e are regressions in 3530
