    I am almost certain I had this bug on 15.3 as well, it just happened once randomly and I can’t remember if I restarted LR to fix it or it resolved some other way. Hopefully it’s not more frequent on 15.4, but sounds like it might be since Rikk was able to reproduce it...

    It only happens the first time the Remove tool is used on an image. If you change image and then go back the icon becomes active.

    I can reproduce this and have logged it with the LrC team. Thank you for your report!

      Re-launching LrC fixed it, but will keep an eye on it to see if it happens again and a possible cause.

      So, it seems the icon only becomes active once you switch image, until then it stays disabled.
