Adding Songs to a Playlist Clearing Play Queue in Apple Music

Recently, I've noticed that when adding songs to one of my playlists while shuffle playing songs out of a playlist published by another user, it clears the play queue and either jumps to autoplay or simply ends if autoplay is turned off. Anyone experience this?


For example, song from User A's playlist is playing -> add song to my playlist -> "up next" queue then gets cleared once added.


This is all through my MacBook Air M4.


Thanks guys!

Update to this: adding ANYTHING to a playlist while something is playing clears the queue I've learned. Rather than simply clicking on the options icon next to the song that's playing and adding it to a playlist that way, I manually searched the song and added it from the album it lives in and still clears the queue.


Second update: I've even tried adding songs to the playlist through my Apple Music app on my iPhone and it still clears the queue on my Mac...
