P: Non-selected mask overlay stays visible in Lightroom Classic 11.0

I've just installed Lightroom Classic 11.0 (on Windows 10) and took a look at the new masks, but have found 2 strange behaviors. In both cases, the overlay for a mask that is not selected stays visible, although it shouldn't. Here's how to replicate:

 

Behavior 1:

- create 2 masks

- with Mask 1 selected, press and hold S to display the pins of all the masks

- while holding S, hover with the mouse over the Mask 2 pin to display the overlay

- with the overlay still visible (i.e. the cursor on the pin), stop pressing S

- the Mask 2 overlay stays visible, although it has not been selected.

- hovering the cursor on the pin of the (still selected) Mask 1 will temporarily hide Mask 2 overlay and show Mask 1 overlay, but when the cursor is moved away from the Mask 1 pin, the Mask 2 overlay reappears

Here's how it looks:

The active Mask 1 contains only the visible radial filter, while the overlay that is shown is from Mask 2, after following the steps explained above.

 

Behavior 2:

- with Mask 1 selected, hover the mouse over its pin. The overlay displays (correctly).

- with the cursor still above the Mask 1 pin, press and hold S and move the cursor over the Mask 2 pin

- Mask 2 overlay doesn't show (it should)

- release S and move the cursor. Mask 2 is now displayed, though Mask 1 is still selected

- as in the previous case, hovering the cursor on the (still selected) Mask 1 will temporarily hide Mask 2 overlay and show Mask 1 overlay, but when the cursor is moved away from the Mask 1 pin, the Mask 2 overlay reappears

 

In both situations, I can reset the overlay visibility to its correct state by either holding S and moving the mouse anywhere on the picture, or simply by moving the mouse to a side panel.

 

Regards,

Michael

Stacks are in the Library module, not Develop. In the Develop module, S is used to enable the Soft Proofing.

That said, in the newly released LrC 11.0, when working with masks and one is active, holding S displays the pins of all the other masks.

So I confirm, no typo 😉

Fairly sure the S keyboard shortcut relates to Stacks, not pins

"Is that a typo?"

Not sure what you think might be a typo...

Is that a typo?
