My Question or Issue

The recent updates to the app available from Spotify (not windows store) have slowly been ironing out problems that first occurred when you updated the full screen option to be more in line with other services.
If I may make a few comments. At last in full screen mode the icons to close and minimise the program are now not shown.

Also the fact that the album art is now shown is also far better. But could this be made slightly larger, and be moved along with the track details to the bottom left, therefore not obscuring as much of the artist’s profile picture as it does at the moment.

Also, on some tracks the artist information is not showing correctly. For example on the track Nobody Does it Better from the soundtrack album The Spy Who Loved Me, the artist is showing as Marvin Hamlisch, not Carly Simon who sings the track. On looking at the details in the Album, her name is there, but after Marvin’s name, which are separated by a comma.

On further investigation, the only name shown when in full screen mode is the first name on any track, and anything after the comma or comma’s are not shown. This causes confusion as the order is not always artist first.
Would it therefore be possible to show all names no matter how many commas there are.

I look forward to comments from both moderators and users.

Just to be sure, that link is saying e-mail you with the information. Is this correct?
