The intended behavior is that ';;' is used whenever the user wants to include ';' within the name of an Artist.

This currently doesn't seem to be working as intended, since the multi-value helper (auto-suggest) becomes active even when 2 semi-colons are entered.

This is for Petr to resolve, however, I'm assigning to Jiri to clarify the intended behavior re. how such entries should appear in the tracklist (i.e. should they show up with ';;'?

Yes, they are shown as ';;', unless multi-value separator is configured to another value than ';'. Assigning to Petr to fix handling in the auto-suggest tool.

Understand now. Assuming separator is set to ";" then a ";" in Artists or Genres should match to a ";;" in the appropriate Songs field.

My issue is a nobug, but, the handling of ";;" in Properties is an issue.

Changing summary to reflect real issue.
