P: Add the possibility to disable full image preset preview

Finally, the latest update has an option to turn this off.

I don't know whether there's been an indication of whether default off or default on. I say "off" - because hovering over causes lag problems for large files. As someone said, workflow shouldnt be disrupted because of a random mouseover. I realize this could make  some people miss the rich goodiness. How about a pop-up reminder (that can be turned off) telling people of the option?  Also, I can see that it's hard to open a new subset without hovering over presets. What if you allowed the option to "only preview on click"? That would highlight the setting and preview, then click-two (if applied) would select.

It'll be fixed in the next release Rick. Shouldn't be too long now.

What is the latest on this?  I reverted back to 7.2 and hope a fix is out soon!

The new feature is not disengaging once my mouse moves off a preset.  It leaves the main edit window with a FALSE image of a preset NOT selected.  To make things worse some random presets are enabling while trying to use a tool on the opposite side of the Develop module and not disabling.  This is causing the edit window to NOT represent the actual edits to an image.    For example my edit window will show a B/W image even though I am hovering over the image and exporting.  The thumbnail will be color and the exported image will be color but the view in the edit image will be STUCK to B/W.  I've also experienced the image suddenly change to a preset image when swapping to full screen "F" and back.  I would really love to have an option to turn this feature OFF.  Thank You

Please implement as soon as possible! It's slowing down my workflow drastically, nevermind being annoying! The small image in the Navigation window was just fine.

In a sense, you're completely right. There is absolutely no reason this should've been a point update. This is a bigger change than between versions 6 and 7. This should've been called Lightroom 8.0, no doubt about it.
Semantics aside, version 7.2 is working just fine for me.

I disagree. There should be no reason why incremental point software updates like this should carry such a dramatic (and obviously untested) change to the fundamental way in which an application works, especially where performance is concerned. 

Adobe are going to be sorry if they continue to stab giant holes in a product customers have trusted for years. There is no way I will ever consider using Photoshop / Bridge as an alternative. Using Photoshop is like visiting a software Jurassic Park in my opinion. If Lightroom continues to deteriorate like this I will find something outside of the Adobe ecosystem to use. 

Just use version 7.2 until it’s ready. I’m not giving Adobe an out, they totally screwed this up, but working professionals should never be early adopters. That goes for hardware and software, cameras and computers. Use what works until the new stuff has been proven.

What is the update on this? I know a lot of professional photographers that are been crippled by this issue and are unable to work fast enough because of it. This is peoples livelihoods that are being impacted on so there needs to be a fix implemented asap. I don't see a need for a discussion if its already been pointed out that people need to option.
