Just upgraded to 2.x.  I was reading the Wikipedia band info while on random playback of my collection, and I noticed that I would get immersed in an article only to have it disappear when the end of the current track was reached and the next track began.  I was thinking that it would be useful to have a "lock" button to prevent the switching, or perhaps a timeout from the last scrolling event in this window such that a user could stay on an article even if the player had moved on?

I second this Feature request.  There have been many time that I was half way through and the next song came up.  Yeah I'm a slow reader.
