Description

Hi, since a recent update it seems my Spotify instance has quite a bad UI performance, and occasionally using 100% CPU. It seems to happen when some widget is showing with moving properties, like a marquee text banner or play icon. Could it be that hardware acceleration within the electron app is default off? I cannot find any setting in the app to enable/disable this.
Running on Kubuntu 20.04 on a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5300U CPU / GPU.
