Dear @Alex. Thanks for the update on this! The problem seems to be fixed in my case. Glad you found a solution here and I hope all the others can confirm this.

I really hope you also had time to forward such a major issue to a decision maker in your company to take more care about the desktop releases in the future. An idea would be: In general more testing before releasing a new version and maybe rethink the strategy of adopting all mobile features directly to the desktop version. My feeling is that the desktop version became less user-friendly and suffered in stability in the last few years. "Never change a running system" 😉
Thanks again for your help & cheers!

To @Alex and Spotify Devs,

Thank you and Spotify Devs so much! I'm giving you a little update about my case, I recently switched to Windows from Mac. When I launched Spotify and tried to do the bug, I'm relieved that it's now gone. A little funnily enough, I thought that only works for old Mac computers even though I forgot that there are people who are on Windows or newer Mac computers who have that issue.
