P: Toggling B&W Deletes all Radial Filters, Graduated Filters, and Adjustment Brushes

The title pretty much sums it up. Create any combination of Radial Filters, Graduated Filters or Adjustment Brushes on your image. Make the image B&W (V). Toggle the B&W Adjustments off and you lose all of your adjustments. 

REPRO:
- launch LR Classic
- D to edit an image
- add any combination of Radial Filters (shift+M), Graduated Filters (M) or Adjustment Brushes (K). Just one will suffice. 
- V to convert to B&W (starting in B&W has the same effect)
- turn off the B&W adjustments (this is the HSL tab if the image is in color)

RESULT: All adjustments are gone. Poof! 
EXPECT: All adjustments to remain in place. 

LR Classic: 9.2
macOS: 10.14.6

Confirming the problem using Lr 9.2 with Windows 10.

With local adjustments applied, use the V key or click Black & White in the Basic panel to change Treatment to Black & White. Go to the B&W panel (HSL/Color in colour mode) and turn off the Black & White Mix using the small toggle switch.

Local adjustment pins vanish.

Switching the Black & White Mix back on doesn't restore the local adjustments and neither does convertring back to colour using the V key.

Pretty serious bug I'd say.

I can not reproduce it on Mac OS 10.14.6 and LR 9.2.
Adjustments remain — both those applied in colour before -V, and those applied while in B&W — when back in colour after another -V

Yup, that's a strange one indeed

I can confirm this behaviour on Windows, too, Rikk. Also, what he means is that the HSL tab is, well, HSL for a colour image and it changes to B&W when it's B&W. I think Sandro's just trying to make it clear which tab he's referring to when he says "B&W adjustments"

I cannot reproduce this behavior using 9.2 on 10.14.6. The Local Adjustments stay intact. 

Just Shot Me's comments are a good troubleshooting step. Watch the History panel as you do this and see what happens there. It might offer a clue as to what is going wrong on your system. 

I am not sure what you mean here: "(this is the HSL tab if the image is in color)"

What does the History list section show?
