P: Padlock symbol in Crop tool shows incorrectly as unlocked when aspect crop behaves as locked

When choosing Crop tool there is a padlock symbol that shows whether aspect ratio is locked or not. When making the first attempt to crop any particular image the padlock symbol incorrectly shows as unlocked when the tool is behaving as locked.

 

This only seems to happen on the first attempt to crop a new image. 

Whilst the symbol incorrectly shows as unlocked (even though aspect ratio is locked), just passing the mouse pointer over the padlock (no click required)  changes the padlock to correctly show as locked.

Whilst incorrectly showing as unlocked (even though aspect ratio is locked), pressing the shortcut key A has no effect on the padlock symbol but does change the aspect lock to unlocked (so now the symbol and the behaviour matches). Subsequent use of the shortcut A makes padlock symbol behave correctly for that image.

Once the initial incorrect view has been corrected (by one of the above methods), all subsequent behaviour on the same image seems correct. Open another new image and the problem reappears.

It doesn't happen in my LR 10.2 / Mac OS 10.15.7 either.

This problem now seems to be fixed with v10.2. Thank you!

Ascii, I think you're experiencing a different issue. This thread is about the crop padlock icon showing as unlocked when in fact the crop aspect ratio is behaving as locked. 

Your issue appears to be different: The padlock icon is correctly reflecting the current state of the aspect ratio, but it's always coming up as locked, even if it was unlocked on the previous crop you just made.

If my understanding is correct, please see the Official Solution in this thread:

If that doesn't help, then start a new thread.

This has been a frustrating issue for years and seems to have gotten worse. Now I find that every new image comes up as locked to Original aspect ratio and I have to manually unlock every image before I can adjust it, which slows me down a lot. Please, Adobe, fix this!

we now have to toggle the A key/crop lock a couple times to get the display and the actual function to match each other!!!? My eyes now have to move an extra 300 times an hour because I have to look at the lock again and again, and I can't trust that display is correct because many times it looks unlocked but is definitely still locked, and I hit undo 100's of times more per day because I have no idea if the crop lock is on or not. How do you not realize you ruined a basic function before unleashing it in an update? Christ

Just found that also the preview in the develop module doesn't refresh at high-res until zooming in/ out
