My Question or Issue

When I add my whole song queue to a playlist, it is adding each song twice. This only happens when I select all (CTRL-A) and Right Click -> Add to Playlist.

Here are the reproduction steps:

1. Open Spotify Windows App
2. Go to Liked Songs
3. Click Play

4. Click Queue
5. Click a song in the Next Up list
6. CTRL-A on the keyboard to select all songs in Next Up
7. Right Click -> Add to Playlist -> New Playlist

8. Open New Playlist and sort songs by Title
9. Each song is added to "New Playlist" twice

I have tried the usual stuff, log out/in to Spotify, uninstall/reinstall the app, etc.

This doesn't happen if you choose small quantities of songs from your Next Up queue. I tried it for up to 10 songs and the problem doesn't happen. When I select them all and add them to a playlist, it happens every time.

Quick update. I spent about 2 1/2 hours online with support last night, reproducing the problem on multiple Windows PCs and multiple accounts, including a test account they provided me.

I think they're logging it as a bug.
