Playlist doesn't retain its name in some cases

Sorry to have to report another problem. This one is minor but annoying.

I've been able to repeat this problem. Here are the steps, The problem is at step 10. It may be that some of the intervening steps aren't relevant to the problem.
1- Create a playlist from a selection of songs from Music. (In this case, it is a large playlist: 57887 tracks.)
2- Wait until the playlist is available. Give it a name "thru Oct 6 12-00am a" in the box at the upper left where it says "untitled".
3- Access the playlist I just created.
4- Sort on the field I want ("Mood").
5- Select all the tracks with no Mood (28426 tracks).
6- Create a playlist from those tracks.
7- Wait until that playlist is available. Give it a name "thru Oct 6 12-00am b" in the box at the upper left where it says "untitled". Observe that the given playlist name appears in the left panel Playlist section, right underneath the "a" playlist from step 2.
8- Observe beaTunes in Task Manager. When it stops being active in terms of CPU usage, delete the playlist created in step 2. (I only wanted that one in order to get the "b" playlist.)
9- Close beaTunes the normal way.
10- Wait until beaTunes finishes closing. Open beaTunes.
11- When beaTunes comes up, the playlist from step & has reverted to the name "untitled"

At this point, I am sending my logs. Please note that I sent logs earlier this weekend on a different problem. This set of logs is being sent at approximately 11:35pm US Central Daylight Time (GMT -5, I think).

12- If I rename the playlist from step 7 again, it will retain that name going forward.

beaTunes 5.2.10
folder-based library
OS: Windows 8.1.6.3, amd64

   Hey Richard,

   With the status bar turned off (see other discussion), can you reproduce this problem?

   Thanks,

   Turning off the status bar does seem to workaround this problem.

   Great!

   There will be a proper fix for the status bar issue in the next beaTunes release.

   This should be fixed in beaTunes v5.2.11 (released today).
