My artwork no longer displays correctly after updating to iTunes 10.5.

Question

With the most recent iTunes update, the artwork is no longer displayed properly.  The songs on my hard drive display fine in iTunes. However, the artwork for songs on my iPod do not display in iTunes (I have limited space on my computer's hard drive, so when I manually add songs to my iPod, I delete them from my hard drive, therefore the songs on my drive and on my iPod are different). Thankfully, the artwork does display properly on the iPod itself.  So it is not a corrupted artwork issue.  When I am playing a song from my iPod through iTunes, it WILL show the artwork, but ONLY if the playing song is highlighted.  Once I highlight another song, the artwork display window goes blank. This is regardless of whether the artwork window is set to "Now Playing" or "Selected Item."  Also, if I change the window setting to "Now Playing" and I highlight a song other than the one playing, the window automatically reverts itself back to "Selected Item" and again no longer displays the artwork (unless I go back and highlight the currently playing track).  Additionally, when adding artwork through the "Get Info" display for groups of songs, it will not display the artwork in the "Get Info" box after I have added it to the file(s) as it used to do prior to updating the software.  This is true for songs both on the iPod and on my hard drive.  The artwork is indeed being added, because when I click "ok" and then play (and highlight) the song, the new artwork displays.  This is really frustrating!   (I should note that I tend not to use "automatically download artwork" because most of the music I listen to is quite obscure and often does not have artwork available by iTunes without me adding it myself).
