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.
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.
Created attachment 72119 [details] Debug Output 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.
Created attachment 72194 [details] Shorter output of previous attachment Thank you for the fast feedback. I attached a shorter output when the playing starts.
Setting status correctly.
I also noticed this bug (Amarok 2.5.0 on KDE 4.8.5)
reproducible with amarok 2.6

Git commit 2a8cb3785e50ccb0d551442e3133ac1cc6c2e8f7 by Albert Astals Cid, on behalf of Yash Ladia. Committed on 04/02/2017 at 10:33. Pushed by aacid into branch 'master'. 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 )' REVIEW: 116641 M +13 -5 src/context/applets/lyrics/LyricsApplet.cpp M +3 -1 src/context/applets/lyrics/LyricsApplet.h https://commits.kde.org/amarok/2a8cb3785e50ccb0d551442e3133ac1cc6c2e8f7
