Bug is intermittent. It was still occurring after restarting my phone, but having cleared the queue, it appears to be ok at the moment.

Still occurs on 8.4-rc-1

Is it working with the new widget?

[Capable-Tea-001]

Hhmm. I only use the classic widget, but I'll add the newer one to my home screen and keep an eye on it. Sent from [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/mail/home) for Android.

Might be a limitation of the old widget code tbh 😅

[Capable-Tea-001]

@CookieyedCodes affects both!

What I will say is that I'm 99.9% sure this was correct at 10pm last night (it's now 5am).

So something changed overnight

Perhaps there's something in here

Android logs. v8.4-rc-1 Plus Account.eml

Fair enough hmmmm I personally haven't seen this, I wonder if it's the type of artwork hasn't been cached and thats why or their is just a hold on switching it as it refreshes, I personally never have upnext artwork on so I don't see this tbh 😅

Thanks for reporting this. I believe this has been addressed in this pull request, for version 8.6. This will be in beta on 16th February and in production on 2nd March.
