Can you provide more details about your environment?

Are you using the flatpak?
Are you running the app under wayland or xorg?
etc

that way one of us can run a VM and try to replicate your issue

PS: I see you have enabled both "Genius Lyrics" and "Synced lyrics", just know that they don't work together, heck "Genius Lyrics" doesn't work at all, it's recommended you disable "Genius Lyrics".
