Clip Zip: Shuffle always plays the same tracks in same order

Sansa Clip Zip, Rockbox 3.13

I use a playlist with shuffle mode. I  would expect that after starting the player it would continue with the last song played and randomly chooses others after that. Instead each time when I start the player it plays the same sequence of songs, always starting with exactly the same song  :-\

If I turn off shuffle and then re-enable it I get a different sequence. But each time after starting the player that same new sequence is played.

So after starting the player I need to either skip dozens of titles to get far enough into the sequence to get "new" titles or I need to disable and re-enable shuffle.
Is this a bug or is there a switch to get the expected behavior? It worked fine with a previous release on a Sansa Clip+.

It is working as intended.  The playlist is shuffled once, and then played.  When you turn off and turn back on it resumes the playlist it was previosuly playing. 

There is an option to reshuffle the playlist (in the context menu IIRC).

It sounds as if he's saying the playlist does not resume where it previously left off at poweroff.  OP, can you please clarify as to whether this is what you mean?  Also, what happens when you power off and then resume from playing a *non*-shuffled playlist - does it still begin at the beginning of the playlist, or does it resume correctly where you left off?

That is correct, it always starts with the same title. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have noticed it. And there is no difference if I pause playback and then power off or just power off while a title is still playing.
After power on it starts with the same title it started with the last time and not with the title that was playing when the device was powered off.

Same with a non-shuffled playlist, just checked it. I set shuffle to off, loaded a new playlist, played a few titles, powered off. After power on the very first title of the playlist started playing, not the one that was playing while powering off.

AlexP:
I misunderstood then, sorry.  I haven't experienced this myself, how are yoou powering off?  Manually, or through e.g. idle or sleep power off.
