After a recent Spotify update, I'm seeing the same problem. Kubuntu 25.10, Wayland

It's funny, quite some time ago i was on archlinux and got this bug, which is typical from bleeding edge distros. Anyway, went back on LinuxMint, and was happy, until a few days ago. They took so much time without fixing this, that finally it hit the debian repos 😂. Now, only god knows how many years they'll take to fix it. If someone figures out what was the latest working version, please share , maybe we can downgrade and freeze it there

Nevermind, just found the deb file. good luck on waiting for the fix lads.

sudo dpkg -i spotify-client_1.2.74.477.g3be53afe_amd64.deb
dpkg: warning: downgrading spotify-client from 1:1.2.82.428.g0ac8be2b to 1:1.2.74.477.g3be53afe

This fixed it for me on Linux Mint... for the time being:

sudo apt install spotify-client=1:1.2.63.394.g126b0d89

I don't have much hope for a fix for the new version, but let's hope.

Hi, I'm having a similar issue. But it only starts happening after I enable the 'Close button should minimize the Spotify window' setting.
