Describe the bug
My custom BTT touchbar setup kind of glitches lately when apple music songs are skipped or the song goes to the next song. It defaults back to the default mac touchbar and then disables BTT entirely until I like reopen BTT or switch to diff apps. Very strange.

Affected input device Touch Bar

Hey @Andreas_Hegenberg - do you know why this is happening? Happening when using BTT touchbar button to pause or skip song as well.

If I remember correctly (it has been a while) this can sometimes happen when the system Control Strip is shown and there is no real way to workaround it. AFAIK only disabling this option can 100% solve it:

I’ve already had that disabled :see_no_evil_monkey: so not too sure why its happening then. But will see if I can recreate the music controls then and maybe it resets somehow?

Just weird cuz it never did this until about a week ago.
