Shuffle causes newly selected tracks to inherit the previous track's playback position

[NachoOsella]

Describe the bug
When shuffle is enabled, manually selecting a different track causes the new track to start at approximately the same playback position as the previous track instead of starting from 0:00.

For example, if the current track is at 2:08 and I select another track, the new track starts around 2:08 as well.

This does not happen when shuffle is disabled.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start playing any track.
2. Enable shuffle.
3. Let the track play for a while, or seek to a noticeable position such as 2:00.
4. Manually select another track from the song list.
5. Observe that the newly selected track starts around the previous track's playback position instead of 0:00.

Expected behavior
Manually selecting a different track should always start that track from 0:00, regardless of whether shuffle is enabled.

Desktop:

• OS: Arch Linux
• Terminal: kitty
• Version: 0.41.0

Additional context

• The issue affects the actual audio playback position, not only the progress bar UI.
• It appears to be reproducible only while shuffle is enabled.
• With shuffle disabled, manually selecting another track correctly starts it from 0:00.
• Disabling shuffle is currently a workaround.

Summary

When shuffle is enabled, manually selecting a different track causes the new track to start at approximately the same playback position as the previous track instead of restarting from 0:00. This occurs with the actual audio output, not just the progress bar UI. The issue is reproducible on Arch Linux with kitty terminal and spotatui 0.41.0, and disabling shuffle is a current workaround.

Key points

• OS: Arch Linux
• Terminal: kitty
• spotatui version: 0.41.0
• Reproduction steps: play a track, enable shuffle, seek to ~2:00, manually select another track, observe the new track starts at the previous track's position
• Expected behavior: manually selected track should start from 0:00 regardless of shuffle state

What would help

• Whether the issue occurs with all audio sources (Spotify, local files, Subsonic, etc.) or only one
• How the track is manually selected (keyboard, mouse, etc.)
