Crop adjustments not syncing with other edits when Using Sync within LrC

LrC Ver 18.3 on a Win 11 Pro machine.

I created a Virtual Copy of a NEF image and converted it to B&W.  I reset the crop on the Virtual Copy.  I then exported the images to Evoto which created TIFF’s. 

After the TIFF’s were updated in Evoto and exported back in LrC, I wanted to Sync the crop between the original TIFF and the B&W virtual copy.  I tried multiple times and it would not sync the crop.  I am able to successfully sync other edits from the Basic panel for instance, just not the crop.  I have Transform unchecked so that I can check Crop and have to be grayed-out.

I have synced Crop settings for years so it does appear that something is wrong.
