P: Unable to move crop to image edges after negative (CCW) rotation

Hi,
I’m experiencing a recent issue with the Crop tool in Lightroom Classic.
When I try to crop an image after applying a rotation correction (either automatic or manual), the crop frame won’t let me move it fully to the edges of the image. It’s as if there’s an invisible boundary about one centimeter from the top or side edges, preventing me from placing the crop where I want.
This didn’t happen earlier today and started occurring with the last two photos I’ve edited. I’ve tried:
-
Toggling “Constrain to Image” on and off
-
Using different aspect ratios (including “Original” and “Custom”)
-
Removing the rotation, cropping first, and then reapplying the rotation
-
Restarting Lightroom
In all cases, the issue returns as soon as I apply any rotation, even a minor one. I’m attaching a screenshot that clearly shows how the crop frame cannot be moved freely even though the image has visible content.
Is there a setting or recent behavior that could be causing this?
I’d appreciate any guidance.
