This is from my Music app… the highlight is not my choice, it looks like where the list SHOULD end.
Interesting. You’ve got the player controls floating over the track list at the bottom of the window. Is that a new option for macOS 26? On my Mac running macOS 15, I can’t configure that even if I wanted to. Maybe it’s a liquid glass thing.
Anyway, it appears that that’s a scroll-bar, not a highlight. It looks like Music put it just above the player controls. It probably looks great if you have scroll-bars hidden, but you (like me) want to see them all the time.
Can you move the controls back to the top of the window, as they were in older versions? If so, I suspect that scroll-bar will move back to the bottom of the window where it belongs.
I’d go to Apple Feedback and leave a bug report here.
That mini player is immovable. Looked through settings, I did find a “keep player on top of other windows.” For the hell of it, I selected that option, but in fact the player did not sit over other windows. Do you mean post something in the “Community” forums at the fruit?
It’s not the mini-player, but the normal player-controll bar. On previous versions of Music (e.g., 1.5.6.11, on macOS 15), it’s on the top of the window, above the track list:
Notice how the layout of controls there matches the layout in your screen-shot, but it’s transparent, covering the bottom of the track list instead of opaque above the top of the track list.
It looks like this is yet another victim of Liquid Glass. Annoying that you can’t put it back where it used to be.
No. Those support forums are useless for this sort of thing. You can explain the problem, but don’t expect anyone from Apple to help or even respond.
But you can go to Apple’s Feedback page to leave a bug report. Select the app/product in question and fill out the form.
I don’t see a link for the Music app (the “Apple Music” link is for the streaming service), so I’d leave it as macOS Feedback.
You probably won’t ever get a response from Feedback, but if a lot of people have the same complaint, Apple may do something about it.
