Android Auto users are running into a pesky scrolling bug in certain apps

A growing number of Android Auto users are encountering a frustrating bug that disrupts their ability to scroll through music apps. This issue has been particularly noted with popular platforms such as Amazon Music, BBC Sounds, and SoundCloud, among others. Users have reported that the scrolling limitation only manifests when music is actively playing, creating a cumbersome experience for those trying to navigate their playlists.

The problem first emerged in February, when complaints began circulating about users being unable to scroll beyond a few rows in their music applications. This scrolling restriction not only hampers navigation but also unexpectedly returns users to the top of their lists, further complicating their listening experience. As the number of reports has surged, the discussion has gained traction on Google’s support forums, reaching trending status. Developers have even chimed in, sharing their own encounters with the bug while working on music-related applications.

Interestingly, the issue does not appear to be random; it seems to activate under specific conditions. Users have noted that the scrolling problem arises exclusively while they are listening to music, suggesting a link between playback and the scrolling functionality.

The Android Team has acknowledged the situation within the support thread, indicating that they are aware of the bug. Efforts are underway to address the issue, and inquiries have been made to Google regarding a potential timeline for a fix. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.

In a related development, recent code discoveries suggest that Google may be exploring the integration of climate control features into Android Auto. However, the specifics of how this functionality will be incorporated into the existing user interface remain unclear.
