[Note from John R Ellis: This was reported fixed in 2015.8, but there have been numerous reports of the symptoms coming back since then: See later posts in this topic.]

It may sounds confusing, but when I select one collection or a published folder and go back to Folders and pick up one folder, Lightroom does not deselect that collection or published folder and I can not go back to that collection until I select another collection.A folder in Folders section is deselected when a collection or published folder is selected.I'm using LR CC 2015.1.1

Please do Help > System Info and report the exact LR and operating-system versions. (The Adobe updater often fools people into thinking they're on "the latest" version.)

Still happens for me in CC 2015.3 / OS X 10.10.5.

Hi,

This problem was present in LR 5, has been already reported but has never been fixed until now.

1. Switch to the Library module, folder mode, and view a folder's contents in grid mode.
2. Now switch to the collection mode.
3. The last viewed collection name is highlighted in the left pane but the viewing window is still showing the grid corresponding to the previously viewed *folder*.
4. You have to select another collection and then re-select the previously "active" collection in order to change the contents of the viewing window.

Other users have noticed the same behavior. The same issue also appears in a similar way in Development mode.

Rodrigo,

At least in my case, this is a bug in how LR displays the currently selected sources -- internally, LR has made the desired change in selected sources but just hasn't displayed it properly. When it happens to me, if I hover the mouse over the previously selected collection, the highlight goes away indicating that in fact it is no longer selected.

The highlighting of selected sources doesn't always update properly on my LR 5.7.1 / OS X 10.9.5. Here's an example:

1. Click on a collection to select it as a source:



2. Click on a folder to change the selection. The collection is still highlighted even though it is no longer selected:



Moving the mouse into the Collections panel partially updates the highlight:



Hovering over the previously selected collection completely removes the highlight.
