When you have "random tracks" mode on ~25% of the time if you select a track from the playlist the next song(s) will be picked as if set to "standard" mode. Playback may not become random again untill a restart or playlist change. If the Playback becomes random it may at any point after that stop being random and switch back to play songs in a sequental order

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make playlist
2.Turn on "Random Tracks" 
3. Play some music. 
4. Pick a song from the playlist 
5. hit next 
Actual Results:  
After selecting a song the next song that will play is the next one in the playlist. sometimes it will play a random song after selected song but after that first random play the next one in the playlist. eventually after some number of songs it may become random again.

Expected Results:  
A random song is played after the selected song finishes.

This bug is invalid. Caused by a mix of user error and partly broken config file.
