Spotify is built with Adobe AIR which is also what the AE UI is built upon. (or at least a derivative of air, i'm not 100% sure) 

 That's where I would start looking.   Maybe look for other known issues between air apps.

I'll add a 'me too' to this - I sometimes get that same behaviour with the colour picker.  Unfortunately I can't shed any light on what causes it. 

However, I don't have Spotify installed on that computer (and never have) so it's perhaps to do with a component common to Spotify and other software?  I'm on Windows 7 64 bit with Quadro FX3800 graphics and AE CS6.

I'll try and make a note of what other software is loaded when it happens in future and see if I can spot a pattern.

Anyone else have this issue? Might be GPU related? I'm on an aging Mac =
