lyrics not auto scrolling

lyrics not auto scrolling

so im using the app on my laptop and have a premium subscription in case that matters. My issue is that when im trying to view any song lyrics, the lyrics dont auto scroll and sync to the song, im not pressing any lyrics or any other buttons, just the lyrics button and it doesn't auto scroll. This issue started just a week ago and before this is used to work perfectly.

My Question or Issue

I have the same issue like everyone here does, but in the Desktop Apps. Lyrics start auto-scrolling but after a minute they are not longer synchronized, so I have to repeteadly click on "sync lyrics" button or, in the worst case, scroll to the current lyrics. The lyrics are correctly synchronized with the music - it's the auto scrolling/auto lyric tracking that doesn't work. This is a cross-device issue since I own a Macbook Pro and an HP Notebook (windows and macos). It's hard to know when this will happen-- it's almost random (I read from @kpwxx that it happens with lyrics with long lines, which I tested and it's true, when the lyrics goes out of the viewport and half stays visible it stops auto scrolling), BUT the bug always shows up in the worst times! It feels frustrating.

btw that's why "zooming out" works, since now lyrics are almost all just one line short, and auto scrolling occurs smoothly, no current lyric off viewport.

same issue on desktop, win 11. the various issues are really starting to make me look at alternatives. we shouldn't have to download a third party app just to get random playlists. now this and the reduced usability of the screen
