Hi 

 

since last update (10.5) , when I edit a picture ( raw or jpeg) on my iPad Pro , and rotate my screen work on 16:9, the screen freezes immediately after screen rotation ,  during few minutes. Impossible to do anything , even to shut down the iPad. The apps stay open and frozen . After few minutes, iPad restart. 

 

I reproduced this bug several times with same scenario 

 

no issue on my iPhone with the same picture 

 

very strange

Hi @nikom47757858, Thank you for reaching out! I understand how frustrating this issue can be. 

 

Could you please tell us your iPad's model and OS version? Does this happen with specific images or all of them? If possible, could you please share a screen recording of this behavior? You can share via any public file-sharing platform and attach the link to your response. 

 

Thanks!

@micheloupatrick @nikom47757858 I have a couple of questions:

1. when you say that you are editing, are you using a specific tool or just have any image open?
2. Does it happen with unedited images or only ones that you have edited?
3. Do the images have a specific dimensions or does this happen to all images?
4. Does it happen in Devices tab (Camera roll view) only or does it happen in the Lr tab, or both?

@micheloupatrick 
1. Are you sure about the version of your iPad? AFAIK the first gen of iPads Pro's should no longer be supported by Lightroom on iOS, and therefore not be able to run 10.5.

Thanks,
Ignacio
