Crop preview and result doesn't match

Question

The issue:I cropped the image to the desired look, then pressed enter and the result I got was not what I marked with the crop tool. On three sides more was cropped but on the top nothing changed despite I marked the area to be cropped out.  But when I exported the image, the image turned out just as I wanted it to be cropped.On the screen shots I marked the areas where the cropped image was different from the crop preview.So why didn't LR show me the cropped image (as I marked it) after pressing the enter?Do I need to change something in the settings?

First, restart your computer. If the problem persists, 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.
