This specific behavior (the green button playing the original style instead of the highlighted one) appears to be a point of contention in the current 2026 builds. Even if the manual says it "previews the song," if it isn't swapping the engine over to the new style for that preview, it’s essentially just a "Play" button for your current track, which makes it useless for auditioning.

It’s a classic "feature vs. bug" debate. When developers say, "it's not an issue," they usually mean "the code is doing what we told it to do" (which is play the song), ignoring the fact that it's not doing what the user—or even their own manual—expects.

For long-time users (like me) who point out that "The Manual says X, but the Software does Y," the harder it is for development to categorize it as a "user preference" rather than a functional oversight. Hey, I was once a programmer folks! That said, I will use Ghost files as a workaround but this is definitely a functional oversight.
