Playlist Vertical Scroll Position Not Preserved After Using Search Bar

Solved!

Playlist Vertical Scroll Position Not Preserved After Using Search Bar

During the rollout of the new search bar design on desktop several months ago, a bug was introduced which would cause your vertical scroll position on an open playlist to be lost when you start typing in the search bar and the search result page loads.

 

It seems that as the search results page is loading, the playlist page you searched from will automatically reset its scroll position to the top of the playlist page. This occurs when you search, since the scroll position does seem to be preserved until you actually type something into the search bar, and it loads the results page. I don't know of any other sequence of operations that resets the scroll position. 

 

This is on the Spotify desktop application for Windows 11. I just tried in the web browser on Edge and Chrome and the bug is there, too, not just for playlists either but for pages in general, even the home page.

Hey @Mekael_Wasti!

Thanks for reaching out and reporting this.

 

Just so you know, we were able to replicate this too and have already passed it on to the tech team for a closer look. We can’t promise a specific timeline for a fix, but keeping your app updated is the best way to catch any changes as soon as they roll out.

We'll be here if you have any questions!

Great to hear!! Thank you, Mateus!

Bonsoir,

 

Je ne suis peut être pas tres douée quant aux utilisations de votre plateforme. Aussi, lorsque l'on recherche un titre, la liste de réponses apparait. Si je clique en bas à droite sur le titre de la liste en cours de lecture, alors ma premiere fenêtre (de réponse) ne reste plus visible. En effet, le titre (sur lequel j'ai cliqué) prend la place de cette fenêtre. Lorsque je veux revenir à nouveaux sur ma liste de réponse, elle apparait bien, mais elle recommence depuis le début !!!! et si le titre sur lequel j'ai cliqué en bas à gauche est à la 100ème position des réponses, il très frustrant de devoir relire toute la liste depuis le début pour voir les titres suggérés au delà de 101 eme position. Soit vous intégrez une mémoire "informatique" qui lorsque que l'on revient en arrière (sur la liste de départ, je précise), et bien on retrouve le titre en cours . Sinon encore mieux, lorsque l'on clique sur le titre en bas à gaughe, et bien , l'ouvrir dans un nouvel espace supplémentaire de la page  (donc garder la liste ouverte). Cette dernière solution peut aussi nous permettre de s'informer sur l'artiste tout en continuant de zapper sur la liste première … bref, j'espère que vous arriverez à comprendre ma demande. 

Je veux bien si vous avez besoin tester une version bêta si ma demande est testée.

Cordialement

Sometimes playlists are long and you listen to a certain section of one for a period. If you view another playlist, close the app or switch to another view the scroll position reverts to the top. Always.


I want Spotify to save vertical scroll position to playlists on all platforms.
(And maybe add a Jump to bottom-button while you're at it.)
