Unfortunately, for fans of Amarok 1.4, that's a feature, not a bug.

I'm not familiar with the exact history leading to the fork of Amarok. Did the 2.0 version make a change to that effect, or was it just seen as going in a different direction overall than the userbase behind the 1.4 fork liked?

Amarok 2 made major UI changes which many users didn't like, the whole thing just felt more heavy and complex. Clementine is a fairly faithful reproduction of the original Amarok line.

For comparison, look at Clementine screenshots vs this:
