Switching source shouldn't stop any currently playing track

Description
Use case:
- Start RB
- Select shuffle mode
- Select a source (e.g. a playlist, or a particular artist from the library)
- Press play
- A random song (say "Track X") should start playing
- While the song is playing, select a different source
At this point I would like "Track X" to finish naturally, and then a new random song from the source selected in step 6 should play.
Currently, at step six, the current song "Track X" stops abruptly mid way, and then another random song begins from the new source.
(NOTE - When "Track X" is still in the new source, for example a track present on multiple playlists, I'm not sure what the current behaviour is - and right now I'm not in front of my Linux computer to check)
Note that in the latest versions of RB with cross fade, the abrupt switch may not be as bad... I'll have to upgrade and try it
