My Question or Issue

There is an option in Advanced Settings for "Close button should minimize the Spotify window". This morning I discovered this and switched it on. 

Closing the window, however, shuts down Spotify. 

 

I've tried the usual troubleshooting elements:

1. Clear cache

2. Clear storage

3. killall

4. Spotify dump (results in 0Kb text file)

 

Does this work on other Linux environments? Is there anything else I need to do to make Spotify minimize instead?

Fresh installed Linux Mint 22 (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS derivative) Cinnamon edition, Spotify client from the official repo - "minimize on close" feature works for now. Will see how it goes.
