Playlist Open in New Window no longer works since Tahoe

I used to be able to Control-Click on a Playlist in Music and Open in New Window. Was very convenient for building playlists and creating variations. The option is still there but it doesn't actually work. Are other's seeing this? Thanks.

So I found a work-around or I guess a fix for this issue. It used to be when you Control-clicked on a Playlist you got a Menu that gave the option to Open in New Window. Now, since Tahoe, selecting that option just takes you to the All Playlists window. But aha, if you then find the Playlist you want to Open you can Control-click on it in the All Playlists window and lo and behold it works. So it's annoying, an extra step, but it works.

Thank you, Adam. This works fine, but as you've mentioned, is just an extra step wasting the user's time.

I can't believe the amount of enshitification Apple can get away with these days.

I mean, the people responsible for churning out a new OS are supposedly highly skilled individuals, yet they mostly create worse user experiences, in exchange for superficially making the UI prettier.
