Music library suddenly scrolls down after editing anything

As I'm making a new playlist, I'm scrolling through my library then dragging and dropping songs into the playlist on the sidebar. A second or so after I drag and drop, the library suddenly scrolls downward a very significant amount.


At first I tried circumventing this by right clicking, then choosing "Add to Playlist" instead of dragging and dropping, and the same thing happened.


Then I noticed the same bug shows up when I edit absolutely anything. If I Love or Unlove a song, if I edit the title, etc.


At first I noticed this on a 2021 16" M1 Max MacBook Pro, but it is also appearing on a 16" 2019 Intel MacBook Pro.


Interesting thing I also noticed: the amount it scrolls downward is dependent on how far down you are scrolled when you make the edit. So if you are at the very top of the library, the bug doesn't scroll you down at all. If you're only a little scrolled down, it will scroll you down comparatively little (maybe 100 songs). If you're halfway scrolled down, it'll jump you down to the bottom of the library.

perariab,


Got it! Thanks for keeping us updated on how that went.


Since it's still not working, trying it in a new user may be helpful. This will allow you to know if it's system wide or just your user settings. Follow these steps to Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac.


If you still see this behavior when set up as a new user, Contact Apple Support for the next steps after that.


Cheers!

Hi perariab,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having an issue with your library when you're editing a playlist. We'd like to help.


Sounds like you've done a few steps to work on isolating this issue. Since this is happening on multiple devices, we'd like to continue isolating it further.


Have you tried to see what happens if you test this out in safe mode? This will allow the Mac to try to resolve any errors and stop login items from loading. How to use safe mode on your Mac


Hope that helps.

Take care!
