My Question or Issue

I have a glitch where the lyrics screen is fixed so I can only see about 3 lines at a time, even when I zoom out. There's loads of empty space, but its still locked to the song sync. Scrolling does nothing, and I can't find any options to adjust the font size.

Hi Elana,

Thanks for the reply. Why does a glitch need a feature request for Spotify to look into it? Surely if the app is broken then they should just do so anyway?

thanks

Hi @user-removed,

Thanks for the reply.

Right now the expected behavior of lyrics on the desktop app is to move along with the song if they are synced. You get the option to see a few lines from the song but not scroll through the whole text.

This is an example of what that might look like:

If you'd like to see that changed, we recommend voting for the idea linked above.

In case that's not the behavior you're experiencing do let us know - you can send us a screenshot of what you see and we can investigate.

Hope this info helps.

Maybe I am experiencing a glitch. Here's what it looks like. It's got an absurd amount of blank space around the lyrics.
