P: Images in LR 7.1.2 reset to original, erasing edits

This is similar to this old bug P: Desktop: Resets recently edited photos randomly and won't shut down

 

Edits on both DNG and TIFF files often (maybe 20% of the time, which is a lot) completely reset to the original version. The history view shows no newer edits meaning the work (crops, color adjustments, brushes, etc.) is gone. Context:

 

  • Mac Studio M1 Max (64GB RAM) running Sonoma 14.2.1
  • Lightroom 7.1.2
  • I've used Lightroom from its first beta and the cloud version for some years and never had this happen prior to the latest Lightroom update
  • I've had a couple images get "stuck" in this condition meaning I tried repeatedly (perhaps five times) to crop them and they always reset after 10 or 20 seconds back in the grid view

 

Things I have tried that seem to work once or twice but not reliably:

 

  • Wait for the cloud sync spinner to stop before leaving edit mode for an image
  • Always switch back to main edit or detail view before returning to grid mode

 

I will follow up with a video capture of an example and application logs if possible.

    One more piece of context: I have 1.1TB free in my cloud account

    Additional context I forgot to mention: this has happened with both 60mp Sony raw files converted to DNG and TIF scans that are under 20mb

    I will be in the middle of applying an edit, specifically copy pasting or cropping but sometimes just opening something and then it will just, change the edit? either by removing everything and returning to default like I pressed cmd+R, or it will revert to some arbitrary previous edit version, or it'll just apply random presets from what I can tell, sometimes causing me to loose progress, I'm not pressing anything other than cmd+V and sometimes nothing at all, I'm on 7.1.2 and an M2 Pro macbook pro

      Hey, @chanyiti. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll need more info to help you figure this out.

      Share the system info of Lightroom from Help > System info > Copy & paste into a text document or paste here.

       

      Try to pause the sync while you are working in Lightroom from the top right side by clicking on the Cloud icon & then, by the end of the session, enable syncing & let Lightroom finish up.

       

      Please share a screenshot from Lightroom Preferences > Local Storage/Caches.

        I have this kind of problem too. What happens for me is I edit an image, go to a grid view, return to the image and then when I roll over the editing panel the image reverts to its unedited version. It is the weirdest thing. I did a video screen capture. As you'll see I open the pic (which is cropped and black and white) and I scroll over the editing panel without clicking anything and the image turns back to uncropped and in color. Started happening with the latest update.
