Unable to open more than 15 files at once (sound files-foobar2000)

FreeCommander XE 2020 Build 810a 32-bit public
Windows 10 Pro, 1909 (Build 18363.900)

I'm not sure whether this is specific to Foobar2000 only. I'm using it only.

Describe the steps to reproduce a bug (if possible):
Select 16 files (sound files) to open at once and hit enter
-> foobar opens only one file (the last one)

*it works till 15 files, then not

Thanks!
ANDREW

Have you tried the same in Windows Explorer?

There's a reply from Marek, but perhaps it was changed in Windows now and it could be fixed.

I can reproduce the issue if 16+ files are opened in FC, also in AIMP, no problem with 15 or less.

In Explorer I tested 101 files to AIMP, no problem, all were added to playlist as 101 items.

Yes, in Explorer this work fine. I can even open like 210 files at one. I select them and hit Enter. It simply opens.
In FCXE when I select them and hit Enter, it asks wheter all filles are to be opened. I say YES Foobar opens only the last file of the selection.
But when I right-click and choose "Play in Foobar2000" it opens normally.

So my point is that opening files with Enter behaves differently than I would expect. I need to right-click, "Play in Foobar2000" and then it opens.
