I have a problem with the linux client (0.9.11.27g2b1a638c):
Sometimes when scrolling on an artist page, the playback of the current track is stopped and another track (of the same artist) gets selected as the track to be played next.
I located some circumstances the problem occurs for me:
I'm using spotify on Ubuntu 14.04.01, Installed Spotify as described here: https://www.spotify.com/de/download/previews/
Steps to reproduce:
Can anyone confirm this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Looks like there is a new upcoming client for linux (still in beta) and hopefully it solves the issue:

I get the same, on the same OS.
This bug occurs when playing a song on artist's page and scrolling to the new content. Note that the song not only stops, but right next song is chosen.
"1 person had this problem."
Had? I still have it. If this was resolved, then you could say 'had', spotify.
I'm hitting the same problem. It seems to happen if I play a song in the view with all the songs from an artist and scroll down until the song goes out of focus.
It seems that the UI garbage-collects the albums out of focus and stops any songs that are playing from those albums. Also, if I scroll all the way down and, this way, pre-load all the albums for the said artist, this doesn't happen anymore. So the playback stop only when albums go out of focus while other albums are loaded.
I'm experiencing the same problem. Also with the Linux client. It is really annoying.
Same problem with same spotify version as OP (0.9.11.27g2b1a638c). Running Ubuntu 12.10 LTS.
Same thing here (on Linux). It's so annoying I'm trying workarounds. I think one that work, is that I will not start playback until I've scrolled to the end of the list (whatever I'm viewing / intending to play). When done, scroll to the point where I want to play, and start playing, and then *really* star browsing.
You may imagine this is annoying =D
Same problem on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Spotify 0.9.10.17.g4129e1c9.
Same here. Mint 17.1.
