Remove played is set but not removed.

There are random times (when scheduler is running) that a (usually a jingle) track after it has played it does not remove from the playlist, even if I have set "Automatically Unload Players" and "Remove Tracks when played"

I have never heard of this before. Does those tracks then stay 'forever' in the playlist? Or are they 'marked' as played (with a *), but only removed with the next track being played? Any other side effect, beside, that they stay a bit longer in the playlist?
Note, that "Automatically Unload Players" simply ejects the played tracks from the DJ Players - I assume, that this is always happening.
However, can you somehow reproduce the issue? If yes, are there any steps to tell me?

The tracks are marked as played (with *) and stay there as long as that script is running.
I can't reproduce because as I said it's happening at random times.
This is not a major bug. I 'll try to find when it's happening and tell you.
Edit:
I have some news:
I noticed that it happens on script lines that have "SuppressHistoryCheck" option set.

OK,
if you really need to make sure, that ONLY the non played entries stay in the playlist, set the 'Keep max. Marked' entry option to its minimum value of 1, see general settings, section 'Playlist Settings'.

My setting for "Keep max. Marked" is 0

A value of 0 means: "keep all played entries in the playlist" - click on the small '?' icon at the top right or hoover of the label text to get a detailed description.

I 've set 'Keep max. Marked' entry option to value of 1 but it still lets played items on the playlist.

Forever? Or are they finally removed with the next track?
Unfortunately I can not reproduce that here, whatever I try.

They stay there forever. Unless I manually remove them.

It's funny what is really happening.
I noticed that the track staying on the playlist and not removed, is a random (jingle) track from those that have played some time earlier.
I don't know how those tracks appear there. I can't stay looking at the screen.
I mean that ... at 17:10 I saw 2 tracks not removed and I manually removed them (shift delete).
At 18:05 I look at the screen and I see two other played tracks not removed, but their time played shown is earlier than the last time I deleted the previous (like 12:54 and 16:17).
That's funny indeed.
