Hi

In Maps module you should be able to right click on a marker and Create Collection from it.  The collection is created but doesn't have any photos in it...

Hmm, in my LR 12.1 / Mac OS 12.6.1, right-clicking a map pin and doing Create Collection works correctly, making the collection and adding all the photos of the map pin to it.

 

As a next step, try resetting LR's preferences:

LR sometimes soils its preferences file, and resetting it can fix all sorts of wonky behavior. That article explains how to restore the old preferences if resetting doesn't help.

 

If that doesn't help, please make a full-resolution screen recording (not with a phone) of the steps you're taking and attach it to your reply here.  That might give clues about how to reproduce the bug (Adobe won't pay attention unless they can reproduce it).

Thanks - resetting preferences has cleared the problem

    Good. It's too bad that LR's preferences implementation is flawed.
