Music Miniplayer not displaying track being played since MacOS12.1 update

The problem is that they keyboard focus is on the volume control when the miniplayer is first opened, so the titles don't display. Hitting tab twice resets it. Looks like the window is now opening in some sort of accessibility mode by default.

Hi Mad_dog2,

Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand the MiniPlayer is not displaying the track being played, and we'd like to assist. From what you are describing, this sounds like expected behavior in macOS Monterey. Check out this article for images on what you should be seeing:
