Description Mathias Dietrich 2012-06-21 13:43:22 UTC
Autoscrolling Lyrics are scrolling down if a song is rated via Context Browser's Current Track

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Play a song
2. Wait till autoscrolling starts
3. Rate the playing song via Context Browser Current Track
Actual Results:  
Lyrics are scrolled down by a fixed value. If you rate often enough the lyrics are scrolled down before the track ends.

Expected Results:  
Autoscrolling should not get interrupted

Actually you wish that the scrolling stops when you rate the song? 
But the scrolling follows the playback so why should it stop? And why would you "rate often"? I fail to see the usecase of that wish. But anyway, this is not a bug but a wish.

I think you missunderstood me. It's obviously a bug, just reproduce it and then you understand it.

If I have a playing songs, and the lyrics are auto-scrolling during the playback.
Start to rate you playing song via Context Browser Current Track.
In the same moment you rate the song, your auto-scrolling lyrics scroll a very large step down.
If a user would re-rate the song again, the lyrics jump again a large step down and so on.

Normally if the user would rate the song, nothing would happen to the lyrics, they would just scrolling down via auto-scrolling. It seems that the Current's Track rating inflicts the lyrics plugin somehow, which is a bug.
Comment 3 Myriam Schweingruber 2012-06-25 11:00:11 UTC
Right, that explanation makes more sense then :) You initial description didn't talk about a jump to the bottom. I think this is more likely a bug in the Current Track applet, changing component.

Could you please start amarok from a Konsole with

amarok -d --nofork 2>> output.txt

do only the steps above and then quit and attach the output.txt to this report.

One addition, it's important to wait until the auto scrolling starts. 
You can not trigger the jumps when the lyrics do not auto-scroll.

Thank you for the fast feedback. I attached a shorter output when the playing starts.

Setting status correctly.
Comment 7 Dominic Kexel 2012-11-12 21:24:46 UTC
I also noticed this bug (Amarok 2.5.0 on KDE 4.8.5)
Comment 8 MinSik CHO 2012-12-02 11:51:41 UTC
reproducible with amarok 2.6
Comment 9 Mayank Madan 2012-12-19 11:33:17 UTC
Rating using  Current track on context menu interrupts autoscrolling and the lyrics are scrolled down. Using v2.6.90-26-gbcdd84c
Comment 10 Myriam Schweingruber 2012-12-20 23:28:18 UTC
Confirmed by comment #9
Comment 11 Mikhail Ivchenko 2013-12-04 08:53:49 UTC
Reproducible with v2.8.0

Fix Bug 302299 - Autoscrolling Lyrics are scrolling down if a song is rated via Context Browser's Current Track

The bug was occuring since 'userAutoScrollOffset' and 'oldSliderPosition' were being reset when track metadata was changed. This should not happen.

I split the function: 'void _trackDataChanged( Meta::TrackPtr )' into 'void _trackChanged( Meta::TrackPtr )' and 'void _trackMetadataChanged( Meta::TrackPtr )'
