My Question or Issue

When I listen to spotify on the desktop app, I like to have the album art as big as possible because I like to see it. However the album art uses the same sidebar position as all my playlists as well as the Home, Browse, and Radio tabs. 

Before this update, I was able to scroll through the whole sidebar above the album art, meaning that there was still plenty of space to see multiple playlists and have the album art be the size I wanted it. Now though, the Home, Browse, and Radio tabs are stationary at the top and can't be scrolled past, meaning that there is only space to see one playlist at a time when the album art is big like I want it. This really sucks because I never use the Home, Browse, or Radio tabs and don't need to see them. I need room to see my playlists that I actually care about and I don't want to make the album art smaller.

The picture attached shows how much room I now have to see my playlists with my preferred album art size...

Same here.

There already is another topic for this issue where I posted my comments:

Spotify, please revert this change, it is extremely annoying.

I'm seeing this on windows desktop app as well. It's almost unusable at this point because if I make the album art smaller to give more breathing room it also provides less width and I can no longer read my playlist names.

At this point the only workable solution I can find is to minizmie the album art so it is on the bottom bar with the controls. This somewhat defeats the purpose for me though since I would rather be able to see the album art in a larger picture.

I have attached a screenshot showing this in practice as well.

Does anyone of you know how to actually report a bug to Spotify? I mean we are in the support forum here, I doubt any Spotify people will read this...

Anyways, I found a couple more threads for this issue, posting them here:

I really wonder how this "feature" got through quality control. I mean with now more than 100 million subscribers you might expect them to test their application on different screen sizes...
