Update: 8 Sept 2019: Uninstalled Amarok and reinstalled from scratch. Problem has not recurred. There may have been a problem with the original instillation: although the Amarok icon appeared in the Applications group, I had to double-click the icon to start. After reinstallation, Amarok opens with a single click on the icon.

Thank you for the feedback. Impossible to know what caused that glitch, we would have needed a debug output to explore.
