Created a collection of photos (just manual selection) and those photos were flagged as picked up (white flag), when I select a photo in bottom row of thumbnails and hit U to unflag, the correct message appears on screen about unflagging but on the thunbnail photo still appears that white flag and dissapears once mouse is moved away. But when mouse is over this image again (not clicking, just moved cursor to thumbnail, flag is back.

For Reject (black) flag there is no issue.

Same here.  The issue appears to be resolved.

Lightroom Classic 9.0 was released earlier today and contained a fix for this issue. Please give it a try and confirm it is working for you after updating. Thanks for your patience.

Until the issue is fixed , just make the filmstrip thumbnails bigger and they don’t turn white and get stuck on white on mouse over

I just upgraded and noticed this issue!  I'm deleting the photos I don't want and flag the photos I want to keep... so when I flag the one I want, then go to select the 8 or 9 I DO NOT want to delete, they all have flags!!!  This is most certainly going to slow down my editing until I find another way or this issues is fixed.

Agrawal,

Its easy to reproduce.  Just drag the cursor over the thumbnails in the filmstrip.  When the Thumbnails and Flag are large the flags get stuck in Gray and when the Thumbnails and Flags are small they get stuck in White.  This is an additional issue.  When they are small and unflagged they should  highlight in Gray on cursor hover instead of White as it is confusing to the user.  I have a video I could send to you by PM if you want as I don't use any of your video upload sites.

Can you please share a screen recording of the issues you are seeing. Will be very helpful to reproduce this in house.

Thanks,

There are more issues than I originally thought.  Even with the filmstrip thumbnail at a large size the flag icon sometimes sticks with at "phantom" light gray flag if you drag the mouse cursor over the filmstrip.  This is unlike the "phantom" white flag when the filmstrip is small .  It is just cosmetic but shouldn't happen.

Thanks all! this has been bugging me ever since I upgraded to 8.4.

Is there a way to turn the mouse-over flag appearing off alltogether?(apart from increasing the film strip size) since  even when it works normally, now it looks like every photo you hover the mouse over has a flag and it's weirdly confusing. 

Thanks in advance!
