[AudricV]

Thank you for your bug report, I can reproduce the issue on my side. Please follow the template properly in the future and use better issue titles so we can understand better them and other people can find them in a easier way.

[opusforlife2]

Is this only an occasional bug? Otherwise it should be pinned.

[AudricV]

It happens for some types of meta info which we probably didn't see before, so no it shouldn't be pinned.
