Seriously wtf is this ui?? No queue access from Adaptive/Compact view. Elements overlapping. Duplicate elements and useless elements. Unused/wasted space in header bar, unnecessary sidebar.
Is there an existing issue for this? (Please read the description)
- [x] I have searched the existing issues
Current Behavior
No way to access queue until you expand the ui mode and then it decides to arrange itself like this?? Why add a sidebar when the header bar is already wasting space pointlessly? Why is there an app icon in the upper-left corner that does nothing, let alone TWO for no reason?? Just to waste screen space? Two Settings icons as well, why? Why are elements overlapping?? Wtf???
Expected Behavior
Not this. Why waste additional space with a sidebar? It isn't even fully used. Why are the icons there if they do nothing? Why two?? Why are things overlapping? Why do much wasted screen real estate? Why did the "Adaptive" UI choose not to adapt to things being added to queue by... oh i don't know... OFFERING A MEANS TO ACCESS IT? Different views are worthless if I have to defeat their whole purpose by going to the settings to switch them off just to see what I have queued, wth.
Basic feature implementations sorely need to be reassessed before eyeing any new, advanced, optional, or purely cosmetic changes.
Steps to reproduce
- Open app
- Switch from "Adaptive" view to "Extended" view to get this mess.

Additional information
I cannot be the one at fault for having a poor experience at this point, after so many issues that warrant reporting.
The only time I haven't run into back-to-back usability/ui issues is during the time when I have no reason to interact with the app at all while songs are currently playing, and thus cannot invoke any new ones until I start trying to actually use it again, at which point the pattern of basic usability issues resumes.
Most of them warrant their own unique tickets, being serious.
Self grab
- [ ] I'm ready to work on this issue!
Extended view is intended for tablets or other wide screen devices.
It has it's purpose.
If you use your device sideways for example it is very useful.
Queue is located at the bottom left after tapping on the playing song.

I can reproduce the issue by setting minimal width in the android developer options to anything lower than 335.
This option changes the scaling in android and the installed apps wich moves the buttons out of the screen. The option is resolution dependent so don't use my options they might breake more.
At 360 dp (standard)
At 345 dp
At 335 dp
A fix woud be to higher this option
In this menue you can also scroll down to the playlist button but it does not work all the time
So yeah, 100% valid bug and not at all user responsibility to decipher or know any of this. Current min width is 360dp, just to prove that.
