2. Do Metadata > Edit Capture Time and change the date/time to any other date/time.

 

3. Do Metadata > Revert Capture Time To Original. Observe that the fractional seconds have been dropped:

    I verified that LR 15.0 now behaves correctly with the bug recipe. 

     

    It's great that LR 15 finally handles fractional capture times fully and correctly, only nine years after they were standardized in EXIF 2.31 -- better late than never!

    That's unfortunate. I've logged it.
