My Question or Issue

The Spotify app window on macOS automatically hides after a certain amount of time. 

1. Open Spotify
2. Play a song
3. Spotify window is shown and remains open (see first image)
4. I move to another desktop space on macOS
5. After a certain amount the spotify window automatically hides (see second image)
6. I go back to the desktop space
7. Open Spotify window again

While this isn't a major inconvenience, it is strange behavior. I have experienced it with multiple macOS and Spotify versions. Has anyone else experienced the same behavior and knows how to fix it?

Hi @Pretty_Bonobo,

Thanks for reaching out. Could you please provide us the following:

• When did this start happening? Did it coincide with a Spotify or MacOS update?
• Does it matter what activities you do on the other desktop space for this to occur? Does it still happen if you just switch and then do nothing else?
• Have you been able to see the exact moment it happens? If so, what occurred exactly?
• It's worth performing a full clean reinstall if you haven't thus far. This can help with a multitude of issues and it may solve this too. Let us know if it helps.

With this information, we’d be happy to investigate.

Keep us posted.
