Hey there @LeoRuoshui

Thanks for reaching out on the Community! And kudos for including screenshots showing how things look for you 🙂

Just to check, did you notice if the layout changed at any specific points? For example, after an update to the Spotify app or to the device's OS?

Also, does clearing stored cache from the app make any difference? Once it's done, make sure to log out from the app and back in again, as this will resync your account info. Another option is to try a clean reinstall. This will clear cache too, as well as ensure that you're running the latest app version.

Feel free to include the make, model & OS version of your device in your reply as well - this will help us look into this further.

Keep us posted!

Thank you for your reply!

I tried clearing cache and clean reinstall, but it didn't work.

I think I got this problem only on this new computer, but I'm not sure about it.
My computer: Mechrevo Yilong 15 Pro (it's a Chinese brand)

Resolution: 2560 x 1600 (it's an uncommon one, but I tired 1920x1080 and it still got the same bug)

Window version: Windows 11, version 24H2

Appreciate the cooperation @LeoRuoshui.

In some other threads where users reported issues with the scaling/resolution of Spotify, what helped in some of the situations was disabling hardware acceleration. Could you test and let us know if you notice a difference?

On Windows you can download Spotify both from our website and the MS store so it's also worth deleting the current version you're using and testing with the other one just in case as they can have different behavior.

You mentioned that you tried zooming, but could you confirm if there wasn't any difference both with zooming in/out (holding the CTRL button on your keyboard and scrolling up/down with the mouse)?

Lastly, could you also test with a song which is not on the bottom of your screen (as shown on the screenshot) to see if the window to add to playlist would be different?

We'll be on the lookout for your response 🙂

Thank you for your rapid reply!
Zooming in and out, disabling hardware acceleration didn't work for me.
I deleted it and download it from another sorce (from spotify website and MS store), and it's still the same.
the position of the songs seems unrelated, sometimes the roll is a little bit longer and sometimes it's unreadable, like the pic shows.

When hit the add botton at first several times when open the app, the whole list would "blink" for a millisecond, then it shows the short list.(if that could help)

Thanks for the quick response and screenshots @LeoRuoshui 🙂

Since you mentioned that the whole list would "blink" for a millisecond, could you take a look at the steps suggested by @Yordan here and let us know if things work any differently with them from your end?

To test if this could be an account-related issue you could ask a relative or a friend to log in to their account on your computer.

If this behavior doesn't persist in the Web Player, but only in the app, it would also be very helpful if you could try on another computer (if this is possible).

Keep us posted and in the meantime, we're here if anything else comes up.

Yeah I've seen that post, I don't think it's related to my issue.
And I kinda got the logic of the bug, it's related to how many playlist I have add the song into.

When I add the song to all my playlist, it will be unreadable, and when I only add it to one or two list, it will be longer.

I think it's because the length only related to the "most relevant" part of the drop-down list, and "saved in" part of the list didn't count for the length for some reason. And the web player didn't have those two categories so that shows normal length of list. (the picture shows that the list is exact same length as "most relevent" part of the list)

To test my thought, I added few empty play list and everything looks normal this time.

If there is a way to close the category as "most relevant" and "saved in" in the add to playlist list, I would glad to know.

If there's no solution for this weird bug, I would be satisfied by adding three empty lists as solution😂.

This isn’t just a iPad problem. I literally have Spotify full screen on my monitor and it looks like this. This a common problem, and it kicks you out after every playlist you click on so you have to do it multiple times if you want to add the song to multiple playlists

Hey @WizardWilly,

Thanks for reaching out. We've moved your post out of the iPad thread to avoid confusion, hope you don't mind.

If you think the Add to playlist window is too small, you can adjust its size from the app settings as shown below:

Regarding your issue with the window closing every time you click on a playlist, this is definitely not expected and we'd like to investigate further, so please let us know the following:

Your exact app version.
Have you tried any troubleshooting steps like clean reinstalling the app?
Do you get the same behavior in the web player?

Keep us posted.

Hey I’ve messed around with all of the setting already that doesn’t fix it just zooms in more and looks cluttered, Probably wouldn’t use it even if it fixed it as I heavily dislike how it looks. The problem only seems to occur on the actual app and not the web player, also unsure of what version I have installed but I literally did a clean install yesterday so should be on the newest one

Hey @WizardWilly,

Thanks for the reply!

We've merged your post with this thread, since it's very similar, hope you don't mind! I also wanted to ask if the Add to playlist-window is the same everywhere - for example, is it the same if you access it from the playlist track list, or does it only look like this when you're using it from the bottom navbar? You can also take a look at the mod and user recommendations in this thread and test the ones you haven't tried.

Keep us posted.

I have tried everything this thread says already other than having someone else log onto my computer. And yes this does still occur when using anything other than the nav bar.

Hey @WizardWilly,

Thanks for getting back to us.

Make sure to send over the make, model, OS version and the exact Spotify version currently running on the affected device so we can forward your report to the relevant teams.

Keep us posted.

is this all you need?

Hey @WizardWilly,

Thanks for the info!

We've forwarded this to the relevant team, we'll let you know once we have news.

Cheers,

This issue I've discovered has something to do with the "Most relevant" category at the bottom of the add to playlist popup window. Depending on how many of your playlists that the song you've clicked on is in, you'll have more or less space. If the song is in all of your playlists already, you'll have no room at all

My temporary fix until the bug is fixed is to add a couple empty playlists to my library, it forces the UI to have space to scroll

KylaKT you are amazing! That worked for me.

Re: Add to playlist interface very small.

MihailY — Fri, 18 Apr 2025 11:23:58 GMT

Hey folks,

This should be fixed now. Can you please check and confirm it's working as expected?

Cheers,
