"Crop" Setting grayed out in copy/paste settings in LR 15.3 How do I fix this?

Question

Today when I went to copy and paste settings between images it automatically pasted the previous crop. I never have the “crop” settings checkbox selected, and when I went to deselect it it was checked on and grayed out so I couldn‘t change it. I deselected all and the selected everything except crop and masking (my default settings) and it worked for one image. However as soon as I went to the next image it was back on and grayed out again. Is this a new feature with a hidden way to disable it, or is this a current bug? Any advice would be appreciated as I’m having to completely change my editing process because of this.

After more messing around with it I have discovered that “Crop” is now tied to “Transform” If you check the Transform checkbox it automatically selects Crop including Straighten Angle and Aspect Ratio and prohibits you from changing them.

Adobe says this behavior (introduce in LR 15) is “as designed”:They’ve declined to provide a design rationale -- it seems pretty strange to me.See here for workarounds:
