There’s not something like latest. This has been already fixed. Reinstall spicetify if you are on 2.31.2

I'm facing a simliar problem. The pop up lyrics freezes when minimize spotify main window. It keeps frezze even if I reopen mainwindow (not restart the whole app). Then close pop up and re-open it can make it work again.

Please find the performance report here. I checked it, it was a little messed up by cat(oneko)... Tell me if you need a cleaner one.

What I did with the performance report: I start with song playing and lyrics tab closed. Then I open the tab, it works correctly. I switch my focus to dev window(so spotify main window still showing), the tab is still working fine. Then I minimized the main window, lyrics tab freezed. I open the main window back, but the tab is still freezing. I closed the tab and reopen it, it works. Minimized the main window, it freezes again.

Add popupLyrics to the config and do not install it via marketplace. spicetify config extensions popupLyrics.js, remove it from marketplace and run spicetify apply, then do this report again if it still happens

Amazing, now it worked! It won't freeze even if I minimize the main window

What I did:

1. remove it from market place
2. reload and close spotify
3. spicetify config extensions popupLyrics.js
4. spicetify apply
5. start spotify

So it's a problem generated from installation method?

Most likely, yes. I think it's a default browser behavior... and if it's from local file it won't put massive restrictions...? I don't know and I don't wanna dig into this more xd

I agree. But I also suggest to add this in readme file / somewhere so people know how to install it correctly

can confirm this fixes the issue, unsure why marketplace variant wouldn't work
