P: Deleting a photo from a selected group takes you to the first photo, not the next

After upgrading to 14.5, I selected a group of photos for review. When I deleted one of the highlighted photos, the current photo became the first photo in the group instead of the next photo in the group when "Filter based on flag status (Unflagged Photos Only)" is active. I've restarted Lightroom Classic a couple of times and the behavior persists. I'm running on a Macbook 16 M1 Max with 64MB of memory Sequoia 15.5

    I did find a temporary workaround until a fix is available. Simultaneously pressing the shift key and the 'x' key will delete the photo and advance to the next image just as it does when no filter is active.

        Hey @swebsurf, 

        I’m not able to reproduce this behavior on my end. Could you share a short video clip or a screenshot of your workspace? That will help us narrow down what might be happening.

        To reproduce this change in behavior from LR 14.4 to 14.5:

         

        1. Put three photos in Quick Collection.

         

        2. Go to Library Loupe view and make sure File > Library Filters > Enable Filters is unchecked

         

        3. In the filmstrip, select all three photos, with the second photo most-selected (showing in Loupe view).

         

        4. Type Delete. Observe that:

         

        LR 14.4: The third photo becomes the new most-selected, displayed photo.

        LR 14.5: The first photo becomes the new most-selected, displayed photo.

         

        Screen recordings attached.

          • In the develop module, when I am doing edits and deeper culling at the same time, I often have a group of 5-20 images selected.  Normally, I can have them flagged not show rejected images, and as I am going through, hit x to flag as rejected and it will filter that image out and go to the next image. Since upgrading to the latest version, every time I hit x, it goes back to the first image in the selected group.  I can leave them unfiltered and it works normally. This also occurs in the library module when viewing individual images within a selected group.

          • The Expected Result - Being able to cull and move to the next image with more than 2 images selected.
          • The Actual Result - The highlight always moves back to the first image in a group when filtering rejected photos out, and using the x to mark rejects.
