Issue

Double clicking the "Add to liked songs" / "Add to playlist" (+) button (a common operation when you want to both like it and add it to a playlist) also registers as a double-click on the song. The button does what you want, but it ALSO starts unintentionally playing the song.

Solution
This button either needs to absorb the click event entirely, or at least block the double-click from going through to the song component underneath.

On Windows App :

In a playlist/album/whatever, if you click on the "add to playlist" button twice too fast (to like the song and then add it to a playlist), then Spotify will start playing the playlist with the double-clicked song first.

I mean, of course double clicking on a song to play it is a good feature, but here it's clear that I don't want to play it...

Cheers

I would also add that this fix ought to be added to the ... and Play buttons on the track components as well to prevent the unexpected functionality on those other buttons. It's like you mentioned though it's a very easy fix. They probably just need to call event.stopPropogation() in their event handler function and the button click won't bubble up to the track component.
