Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/734

Describe the bug
When I hover my mouse over the interface and move it around, the currently playing music unexpectedly rewinds or goes backward.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the bug:

Launch spotify-player
Start playing any song
Hover the mouse over the application window
Move the mouse around
Observe that the playback goes backward (rewinds)

Expected behaviour
The mouse movement should not affect music playback. I expect the song to continue playing normally regardless of mouse interaction.

Log and backtrace

Environment

OS: macOS (Sequoia 15.5)
Application version: v0.20.5
Application features: just Notify

Additional context
This bug makes the application difficult to use with a mouse, especially while browsing or navigating the UI. The issue seems related to mouse input being incorrectly interpreted as playback control.

This is very interesting and I don't know why it happened. Maybe you can clone the repo and run the app with additional loggings in this function: github.com/aome510/spotify-player@7247aa6495/spotify_player/src/event/mod.rs (L34-L59)

to see what kind of terminal events are listened
