Music App View Menu swaps to 'as playlist' despite being set to 'as songs'

Sequoia 15.4.1 (just upgraded)

Music App (on Mac Mini M4) 1.5.4.70


I have several playlists with dozens of songs in each. Some songs are in multiple playlists. All songs are on my hard drive; no Apple Music.


All my playlists are set in the 'View' menu to 'as Songs' (so I can set headers for more details I desire).


If I am playing a song, in the top banner, if you hover your mouse after the song title, you will see three dots.


If you click the three dots, you can select 'Show in Playlist', which will show you all the other playlists this song is in.


When you click another playlist, the playlist changes and the song is highlighted. But it *ALSO* changes the VIEW from 'as Songs' to 'as Playlist'.


This also happens if I run an AppleScript on the Music App.


This is new behavior since the upgrade to Sequoia 15.4.1. Previously, selecting a song from another playlist would go to the new playlist but retain the 'VIEW' setting, which I had set to 'as Songs '(again, in my case, all my playlists are set to this view).


Please return this to its previous behavior, or at least let us know why you did this.
