P: Panels and filmstrip black when switching to Develop

When working through the Library module flagging photos as rejected with the window maximised (using the green expand button in the top-left corner), the interface around the photo becomes black.

Sometimes the interface can be restored by minimising the window or resizing it. Generally I have to close Lightroom to restore the interface to being usable.



I've only noticed this problem after the latest 2015.9 update.

See screenshot.

This is indeed a hassle.  I decided to roll back to LR CC 2015.7 and have not been having any more problems.  But it is irritating every month my credit card gets charged $10.70 to know that I am being forced to pay for a sub-optimized program because Adobe and Apple can't find a solution to this five-month-old problem.

in the work around answer:
Workaround

When the Lightroom panels appear as black on your Mac, follow the workaround steps given below to resolve this issue:

1. In the Dock bar on your Mac, right-click the Lightroom icon and select Hide from the menu.

OMG and now this how many times a week do we have to deal with this kind of stuff

this work around fails me cuz for unknown reasons, I dont have the same choices as you.
Altho just bopping around different windows for a while buys me more production time.

I am experiencing the same issue on a 2016 MacBook Pro.  It is very frustrating, particularly considering I am paying monthly for this.

Is there a way to follow only the official posts re: a fix and not all the other comments that may come up btwn now and then? 

By commenting, you are already hooked up. Or you can click the Follow button at the top of this page.

@Rikk Flohr, how do I "watch a thread"? Are you asking that visit this link every day until the issue is resolved? Won't I know there is a fix when the CC app notifies me?

Thanks for the official response. We have been waiting for months for that. It seemed like adobe either didn't notice or didn't care about this issue which affects a lot of people.

Thanks for the answer
