Summary
The default behaviour of Rhythmbox when operating in fullscreen is confusing. Basic operations should stay the same whether the app is maximised or in fullscreen mode.
Rationale
The default behaviour of Rhythmbox when operating in fullscreen is confusing. The fact that double-clicking changes meaning just because the screen area is somewhat larger is not exactly intuitional. When Rhythmbox is in normal operation (say, maximised), double-clicking a tune plays it. If you then press [F11] double clicking another tune enqueues it in the playlist.
Use cases
Sam plays some tunes on RB. Then Bob comes in, and Sam presses F11 so that Bob can play around with RB, without interrupting any of the other programs that are laying in the background. But Bob says he can't make the songs play! So Sam goes over, and clicks a tune. But nothing happens. So he quits the program, and starts it over again, this time sure the program has a bug.
