Bug 322955

When one right-clicks a track, one can bring the Track Details dialog, where the track can be rated using stars. A track can get from 0 to 5 stars, and half-stars. Such a rating is possible from the playlist and works fine there. But of course, one generally rates a song after listening to it, so people generally rate in the Track Details dialog. Stars are much smaller in this dialog. They could be bigger, but that's not my request. My problem is that using the rating field is really hard - much more harder than rating from the playlist than the size difference would suggest. It is particularly hard to assign a non-integer number of stars (i.e. half-stars).

The behavior is buggy -  If I put my mouse to the left of the stars, vertically centered, than slowly bring the cursor towards the right, the stars don't lighten gradually. One illuminates, then is greyed again, then lightens again... even though I never go to the left.

I asked on #amarok if others got the same, but got a single answer. Mamarok said it was hard to rate 3½ stars (for example), but didn't clearly say he experienced the same problem. The behavior seems to be predictable but very weird, it would be hard to describe (a video would show well). I think the problem should be obvious if someone tries the field for 30 seconds. If it's not, you don't have the problem.
