I cherry picked this change to the 2.x branch

chabanplease open another ticket for the search crash, likely another issue

👍
BTW, I think I found another bug. Whenever I search for that recording name from the toolbar and select it from the results Picard immediately crashes. Default config, no hints in debug log

chabanI found the issue, genres weren't clear between refreshes for NonAlbumTrack. Leading to various incorrect behaviors, but I'm pretty sure that's the cause of the issue you reported here. After the fix, changing genres-related options and refreshing the recording works as it should for me.

See code changes in pull request #2415 submitted by zas.

If I have "Use folksonomy tags as genres" disabled, and I load the recording in Picard, Music Video doesn't appear in Genres.
That's expected.
Then I totally remove the recording to start fresh.

If I have "Use folksonomy tags as genres" enabled and I load the recording in Picard, Music Video does appear in Genres.
That's expected.

If then I go to Options and disable "Use folksonomy tags as genres" , then just Refresh (via context menu on the already loaded recording) the Music Video tag stays in Genres. This is unexpected (it should not be present after the Refresh).

chaban Does the Video Music tag appears when starting fresh and not having "Use folksonomy tags as genres" enabled??

I have disabled it as stated in the ticket's description. Even tried portable build to exclude the possibility of other parts of my configuration messing with it.

Then tried with a regular recording used in a release. It only happens with standalone recordings so far

It is likely because you have "Use folksonomy tags as genres" in Options > Genres enabled.
