P: Unable to advance to the next photo

I deleted the preferences file and that seems to have done the trick, I think. It seems that Lightroom is also noticeably snappier in almost every respect. I was also having an issue with getting a spinning wheel whenever I tried to shutdown Lightroom and it would take forever to finally close. Now it closes almost immediately. Thanks for the tip! Will report back if the issue starts happening, again. Now, I just have to go through customizing Lightroom settings, again, so it works like how I had it set up previously.

@kylec85330911 Guess I've just learned this is a known issue, but it is working with the keyboard for me. Even using - / + and . and , to swap around for edits and then use the arrows works fine. But, I'm Ventura, not Sonoma.

When I'm in the Develop module, when I advance to the next image the screen sometimes gets stuck on the previous image. If I advance, again, then it'll go to the next image and sometimes I won't be aware that I've accidentally skipped an image. But when I catch it and go back then the image that was skipped will display. It's happening pretty frequently. Haven't tested if the same behavior happens in other modules. But it's super annoying because I'll advance to next image and be waiting, waiting, waiting for the next image to show up. Sometimes I'll think that maybe I didn't press the arrow key correctly, so I'll press it, again. And that effectually will skip over an image, and often I won't realize until later when I go back through the whole take that some images didn't get edited because they were skipped over. Please fix this. My version of Lightroom is up to date. Version 13.0.1. Thank you!

@yurii32033693wvln  Wait, ADOBE has responded here that they are aware of the problem and are looking into it. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Its like Adobe not even tested at all Lightroom with at least 20 photos in the develop mode.

I have the same problem. i have to install the old version 12.5 because only it works properly. also i noticed that even when you mouse click on another photo  it may not switch immediately either. i use loupdeck + with it too it works horribly. Very unpleasant that such a banal error continues as in 13.0 version and in 13.0.1, I had hoped that in 13.0.1 they would fix it, but no.

Your old catalog from the v12 should still be there. But if you create the catalog with v13 there is no way back that i know off.

So unlike others, I can't roll back - opening my catalog in 12.5, it says it can't be used as it has been used with a newer version, because it was upgraed for 13. Can anyone help?

Moving back and forth using cmd + arrow left/right seems to work ok. (I don't know what shortcut on windwows).

If you have some keyboard that does macro's or custom keybinds you could set that cmd + arrow to that.

how do you roll back?
