P: Problem w Compare View after 9.4 update- 'remove image' removes the opposite one to that selected

Hi, first time poster here but long time users.  Major issue with my work flow today.  I normally use the x/y compare view in lightroom to do close compares of my images and to remove the ones I don't want.  Up until now this has worked well by just right clicking on the image in the compare view I want to remove and selecting the remove option.  However, on using this today I became aware that it was removing the opposite image.  I have been through a long support call, including resetting all my preferences only to find that the support analyst had the same issue on his machine.  He refused to escalate the issue and told me to post it here and ask for it on the wish list.  However, as this is something that was working and is now broken and I imagine is part of others work flow I think this should be looked at urgently. Fortunately I spotted this in time to restore the incorrectly removed images from backup, but others might not be so lucky.

"I have rolled back to 9.3 and it works as expected so definitely a problem with 9.4"

 

It also works correctly in 8.2.1 and 5.7.1, so clearly a recently introduced bug.

 

Note that LR has long been inconsistent in how it handles right-clickIf you have multiple filmstrip thumbnails selected and you right-click an unselected thumbnail, some commands operate on the most-selected image (Reset, Proof, Paste Settings, Paste Settings From Previous), while others operate on the right-clicked image (Auto White Balance, Auto Settings, Convert to B&W).

Mine is removing the the select if I right click on candidate and then the candidate if I right click on select.  This is not was is used to do and is a major frustration now as I will have to have a major rethink of my workflow.  I have posted this on the support forum as well and someone has confirmed that it used to work they way I expected i.e. deleting the one you right click on in previous versions.

LRC 9.4 When you right clic on one of the two picture in X/Y and select remove you will always remove the candidate one. Not sure this is a normal behaviour. I would also prefer to remove the one i have right click on
