The subject line covers the description of the problem

Steps to reproduce

1. Find any playlist and right click on the three dot ellipse to the right of the track

2. Select Share and then Copy Song Link

3. Paste the link into any application, where you can click the link, to play the track
(In my case I posted in a Microsoft teams chat) 

4. Now click on that Link to play the track. 

5. It will display the correct track but in fact plays the following track in the playlist

This was found in Windows 10 on my Dell laptop

The Spotify account I have is Premium Family

This is the version of Spotify I have installed - 1.1.65.643.g2d707698-a

The Post's Title text says it all.

I am trying to play a selected track on a different computer in my home by "sharing" its URL from my desktop Spotify and then playing that link on the other computer using the web browser player BUT what plays is ALWAYS the next track from the one I selected.

Very frustrating.

Experiencing a similar Issue on Ubuntu 18.04, ver 1.1.67.586.gbb5ef64e,

When clicking on a song from a list and an ad plays, after the ad the song following the one I clicked starts, may be related (I click song 4, ad starts, ad ends, song 5 plays), also it doesn't display the track I selected (contrary to shackleton steps to reproduce)
