I have Spotify open and maximised on my computer. However, since the upgrade, I can't access the Windows taskbar from an open and maximised Spotify window (i.e. Spotify is open, I move my mouse down to the bottom of the screen to bring up the taskbar and switch to another currently running programme... and nothing happens).
This is not a problem with my operating system, as this works exactly as it should when I have any other programme open. But if Spotify is the open, maximised window, I have to press the Windows start button to bring up the toolbar. I can't see anything about this in the settings/preferences.
Does anybody have a solution to this? It's really annoying when moving between different windows.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Close Spotify, remove ~/.config/spotify/window_position.prefs file and start Spotify again.
You don't need to delete ~/.config/spotify/prefs (if you do delete it then you'll have to reset login details, which is a bother).
Instead, just remove the lines referring to window position.
It seems the window prefs file doesn't have an effect on modern versions of Spotify for Linux. Instead, in ~/.config/spotify/prefs, remove all lines referencing app.window.

same problem here

Me too but I have this on a linux desktop using fedora. its very frustrating to work and use spotify
.
The same problem on Linux (Fedora 22). The last version of spotify can't even be resized by regular window manager shortcts/mouse gestures like any other application. Extremely annoying.
I have the same problem.
Arch Linux, spotify-beta 1.0.11.131-2
Same for me with spotify-1.0.15.137-1 on Arch
Close Spotify, remove ~/.config/spotify/window_position.prefs file and start Spotify again.
This worked perfectly! Was having the same problem on Arch. Thank you!
Where do i find the .confiq file?
Gracias me sirvio de mucho!!!
