Lr Classic 15.0.1

macOS 26.1

Steps:

1: Enter Develop mode for Photo A

2: Click Copy... to copy settings

3: Select all settings.... but uncheck Crop

4: Go to Photo B and paste settings (if prompted select either Merge or Replace... it doesn't affect reproducibility)

Results: I see the crop was applied to Photo B even though crop was not selected when pasting. I didn't test this for other combinations of settings but perhaps others here might have other occurences of their own.

Thank you for the report. I've opened a ticket with the LrC team to review.

Using the macOS 26.1 and LrC 15.0.1, I am unable to reproduce this issue when using either Copy Settings or Syncronise Settings. As suggested by @AxelMatt , check whether resetting the LrC preferences resolves the issue.

Hi @GregR_24 & @ClintGibbs

Thank you for bringing this to our attention! Apologies for this experience. To get a better understanding of the situation, could you please share a few more details:

What version of Lightroom Classic are you using?
Does this happen every time you sync settings, or is it just with certain images?
Did this start after you updated to 15.0.1?
Have you had a chance to reset your preferences as Alex suggested? If you haven't tried that yet, it might help. You can find the steps here: https://adobe.ly/4nTfT9m (Please remember to back up your folders before removing them)

This information will really help us figure out what's going on.

Regards,

Srishti

Believe this started happening with 15.0. I've reset my preferences and relaunched and can still reproduce the issue following the steps above.

New Discovery: This is happening when certain criteria is met. If I copy develop settings (minus crop) from a photo that has minimal develop edits, then paste to another photo, the crop is *not* applied as expected.

But if I go back to photo A from my original post above, (which has a reproducible case) copy those settings (minus crop selected), go to any photo and paste those settings, crop is (incorrectly) applied. Perhaps the bug appears based on the edits a photo has before the user copies those settings. Please advise on where I can send you a reproducible case as a small Lightroom catalog.

@GregR_24: "Please advise on where I can send you a reproducible case as a small Lightroom catalog."

Zip up the catalog folder and the problem photo and upload it to Wetransfer, Dropbox, Google Drive or similar free service and post the sharing link here. Assuming that others observe the same symptoms with that catalog and photo, that will form the basis of a formal bug report to get injected into Adobe's tracking.

I am having this same issue when using Synchronize settings

When synchronizing settings between images, crop settings are being synchronized, cropping the same on each photo, even though the option is unchecked in settings. Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong

Does this happen on every image?

Do you have tried to reset the preferences to the default settings?
