My Question or Issue
So I've only just discovered the fullscreen option recently and this has become how I like to listen to Spotify now as I was able to throw it up on my second monitor and just see what song is currently playing and the media control. Like so
But just now I've gone fullscreen and after a couple seconds all of this just fades away to show just a background image. If I move my mouse it all comes back. I'd like to be able to see all this info just there without having to do anything.

My Question or Issue
In full screen mode, the artist artwork shows up but the title of the song and the artist/album are hidden after a couple seconds and dont show up until you move the mouse. The titles used to display all the time, so something in a recent update caused this bug.
Same here, really annoying. Hope this get fixed in an update soon.
I am starting to wonder if it is some weird commercial decision. Like maybe they don't have to pay some fee if they don't show the song name and title in fullscreen mode? It is the most bizarre UI decision for a long time. Completely unnecessary and easy to fix and they're sticking to it making themselves look foolish. Money usually drives such odd decisions.
Speaking as a web developer, it seems like a bug to me. In the old version, after a couple seconds of no mouse movement, the play bar, pause, rewind and fast forward controls would all fade away but the title and artist would still show. Now in this current version everything fades away leaving only the album art. I don't think this is an intentional decision, it would serve no purpose. Its probably one line of code that someone overlooked and just needs to be reverted. The problem IMO seems to be a disconnect between the support team here and the development team. Its an unacceptable level of support to let bugs like this sit with vague responses for as long as this has, especially for a 44 Billion Dollar company.
Hi folks,
Thanks for your posts and feedback.
As previously mentioned, this is expected behavior of the current client release.
If you have any ideas on how to make the app better and think other users might also like it, go ahead and create an idea on the relevant idea board. We always take new ideas and feedback into consideration to improve the app. Here you can read more on how ideas work. We also suggest checking this help article for useful tips on how to submit an idea. As a heads-up, it's good to know that the higher the number of votes an idea gets, the more likely it is for the idea to be implemented.
@casewindow, as Community moderators, we have access only to official information released by Spotify. We help the developer teams by gathering user feedback regarding app issues and developments. We've reached out to the developer teams and have been informed that this is not an issue with the app, but a designed feature.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any more questions.

What I honestly do not understand... In cases like these, why isn't a feature treated as an OPTION (for example, in Preferences) rather than an imposition? Developers would save a lot of time in this way.
Hey everyone!
Coming to this thread with an update on this. As mentioned in the Idea thread this functionality should be back now!
