Issue with Mac's Apple Music Mini-Player (Keep on top of all other windows)

Hello everyone. I noticed an annoying issue after the latest update (Mac 10.15.4 & Apple Music 1.0.4.104):

When selecting (keep mini-player on top of all windows) then switching to the Apple Music (if it's in full-screen view) the mini-player sticks there and stops showing anywhere else !

I tried finding a solution but failed, it seems to be a bug. Can someone help with the issue? Or how to send a feedback to Apple Music admins to hopefully fix it?

Note: I tried testing in Safe Mode but the issue still occurred.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.15

Hi kdonline,

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. We understand the Music Mini Player is displayed in full screen when Music is currently in full screen. It seems this is expected behavior:

"In the Music app on your Mac, choose Window > Switch to MiniPlayer.
Do one of the following:

Shrink to the smaller MiniPlayer window: In the row of controls, click the More button , then choose Hide MiniPlayer Large Artwork.
- To expand back to the full MiniPlayer, click the More button , then choose Show MiniPlayer Large Artwork.
Show lyrics: Click the Lyrics button .
- To view the Full Screen Player, click the green button in the top-left corner of the MiniPlayer window.
- View and edit a list of upcoming songs: Click the Playing Next button in the bottom-right corner of the MiniPlayer window."

You'll find this information linked below.

I really appreciate the effort but I'm not sure how is that fixing my issue? I know how to use the app, and I'm aware of all what you've listed here. I'm having a problem with the mini-player not showing on top of all windows when selecting the option in Settings. When in Full-Screen, it only shows on the Music app itself but not anywhere else.
