P: Deleting rejected photos while in Develop doesn't work

Since the last LR update, images have been "stuck" in the Develop module. It happens regularly, but so far I've been unable to identify a triggering event. For example, I was editing an image in Develop this morning. Then went to the Library module and selected a different image. When I clicked back to Develop, the original image I'd been working on was still displayed. Clicking any other module displayed the new image I wanted to work on, but the Develop module continued to display the original image. (Note: I don't necessarily have to select an image in Library to make this happen - sometimes just selecting a new image while still in Develop will yield a stuck image.) If I try to make edits to the image, it is the new image that gets the changes, not the stuck image, so it's only an issue with the previewed image. 

The only current fix for this is to close and reopen LR. When I do, the image that I wanted to work on is now displayed.

I understand from Victoria Brampton that you may already be working on this. And I note there is a thread of others complaining of the same issue: https://forums.adobe.com/message/9201341#9201341 

If I can help you with information about my settings, please let me know what you need. FYI, I'm on Windows 10 (all updates are current) and Adobe CC (all updates are current).

Thus far I have been unable to duplicate this issue on Sierra or Win10. Of those of you who've posted: Can you repeat this issue? Can you write step by step instructions for how to get the Develop image stuck?

I have the same problem under OS X 10.11.6. I can switch photos in the Library but in Develop it remains stuck. I once waited 10 minutes, but nothing happened. I exit LR and restart it.

When I x photos for deletion and delete them from disk, they are deleted but one of the pictures gets stuck in the Develop mode. If I x them and then go to library mode, they will delete okay and not get stuck. Otherwise I have to restart LR. Will Adobe fix this bug soon?

Me too, I just saw this behavior this morning on Mac 10.11.6. I had to Force Quit Lightroom as just quitting gave me the beachball of death.
