Fix Spotify stuck in full screen (Ubuntu) installed from snap

Raw

Problem: I experienced Spotify being stuck in full screen mode. The title bar with minimize, maximize and close wasn't present and no keyboard shortcut I know about would exit full screen.

Solution:

@mastier has improved the solution - see here

Solution (old):

rm ~/snap/spotify/current/.config/spotify/prefs

Works both in 18.04.01 and 20.04.x

Just sharing a one line script or function fix, doing what all others shared here:

I've saved it in my path and just run it whenever the situation presents, sharing in case it simplifies the adjustment for others:

#! /bin/bash
sed -i "/\b\(app.window.position\)\b/d" -- $HOME/snap/spotify/current/.config/spotify/prefs
