Two small basic things (surely they're not features? they are standard
Windows practices) are missing in WM10 which i find annoying since they were
in WM9.

In WM9 you had a horizontal scroll bar on the treeview on the left but it
seems to have disappeared in WM10!
Now to see the full text on a node(s) n deep, you have to have to hover to
get a tooltip or move the splitter right across.

WM9 seemed to remember which album and track you were playing when you
exited and then selected them on load (as well as remembering your 'Library'
horizontal scroll position). In the WM10 'Library' it always shows the root
'All Music' node.
(sure it remembers it in 'Now Playing' but not in the 'Library')

To me these seem like pretty simple things which help you find and organise
your music in the 'Library', they were in previous versions, so why aren't
they in WM10?
