P: basic controls set to full minus (exposure to -5.00ev and all others to -100) on import

It actually persisted through to a completely new computer with new software installation. Just FYI, I'm using an overclocked water cooled super computer with the fastest available video card (also overclocked). I have about 15,000 pictures on LRM and use it daily. I'm definitely a power user and I am fairly confident this is a bug and not local to my setup, though I'd love to be wrong.

Danny, have you attempted an uninstall, reboot of your device and then a reinstall?

Thanks. They suggest the update corrects the problem. It doesn't. It has persisted through more than a year of updates. There is a workaround - there's no permanent harm, but it's a pain in the ass and I'd love to know that it's being addressed.

Danny, you might reference this thread as well: https://forums.adobe.com/message/8425956#8425956

Hi Danny,

Do you get the same negative values if you import images from the Camera Roll instead of from Lightroom Desktop?

Regards
