P: LR5 Selection issue when in Library / Publish Service mode

Major bug!
Using LR5 on PC / Win 7 Pro SP1 - In Library module, grid view, publish services, I noticed that the selections in the film strip and the grid view do not always concur. For example, if I select a published image, then (without holding down any modifying key) select an unpublished image, the initial published image remain selected. Doing the same, only on the published images (or the un-published images), seems to work as expected. I believe that I must have accidently deleted some images from my publish service from this bug, so it's a serious issue. It appears that the selections from the unpublished / published images are working independently.

Wow! I was beginning to really lose my faith in Adobe. I followed the instructions posted by Rikk Flohr and now everything is working fine.

Thanks so much!

Thanks again, Rikk. I now reinstalled LR 5.2 once again and then reset the preferences following these instructions http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/r...

It's working fine right now. I hope it stays like this.

Sounds like you may need a preference file reset.

I shouldn't have knocked on wood. As I said above, LR 5.2 worked fine for me for a couple of weeks. Suddenly today I have this issue as described by Sebastiaan Pouyet above again. Once you click on a published folder and then switch to a folder in the Library Panel, the film strip won't update anymore.

I reinstalled LR 5.0 once again and it works fine - for now. But this can't be it.
ADOBE, we're paying money for the software. Please fix this problem.

For me, "deleted/to remove" tab from the a smart collection in a publish service has photos that cannot be selected, and not present in the filmstrip.

Ex : create a smart publish with criteria like only 5 stars photo
It should grab all your photo with 5 stars.
In the publish Grid, select few photos and downgrade them to 4 stars.
They will move to the "removed" panel.
Therefore you cannot select them anymore to make any change.

Yes Saulius, the problem was yet gone when I switched back to LR 5.0. I installed then 5.2 the first day it was released and haven't encountered this specific problem anymore until now. Knock on wood. I upload many photos to Flickr, Google+ and FB and this works fine for me now. But I have still the above described problems during import creating a new folder or deleting photos on an external HD.

Walter, did it really help you?
It didn't do any good to me unfortunately. Also tried to delete smart previews, rebuild regular previews... Still nothing. It's getting even worse I think. Huh...

As I said above I went back to LR 5.0, then later installed the final version 5.2 and I don't have this issue anymore.
