Crop tool leaps back to foto-bounderies

✅ Bug Report: Lightroom Classic 2025 – Crop Tool Expands Slightly After Confirming Manual Crop

Product: Adobe Lightroom Classic 2025
Version: 14.x (May 2025 update)
Operating System: Windows 11 (fully updated)
Category: Develop Module – Crop Tool

🐞 Issue Description:

When manually cropping an image using the Crop Tool in the Develop Module, and confirming the crop by pressing Enter, Lightroom Classic automatically expands the crop slightly beyond what was manually defined. This happens consistently and is reproducible under different circumstances.

🔁 Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a RAW or TIFF file (issue occurs with both).
2. Enter the Develop Module > Crop Tool (R).
3. Choose Free Crop (either “Original” or unlocked aspect ratio).
4. Manually set a precise crop.
5. Press Enter to confirm.
6. Result: Lightroom instantly applies a slightly larger crop than what was manually defined — as if it “snaps” beyond the intended frame.

🧪 Confirmed Not the Cause:

• Lens corrections on/off: no difference.
• Rotation on/off: also tested without any rotation.
• Aspect ratio: happens with “original”, custom, and free aspect ratio.
• Auto settings disabled.
• Photoshop-exported TIFFs show the same behavior.
• New test catalog created: issue still persists.
• No other Develop settings applied that could interfere.

🔧 Expected Behavior:

After confirming a manually set crop with Enter, Lightroom should exactly apply that crop, with no automatic adjustment unless explicitly instructed (e.g., through Auto or constraint settings).

📎 Supporting Materials:

• Screenshots available showing the before and after behavior clearly.
• Both TIFF and RAW files tested — identical issue in both.

📌 Suspected Cause:

• Possible rounding or internal coordinate recalculation issue in the new crop logic introduced with the May 2025 update.
• Could also be an unintended shift in how the crop overlay is being applied post-confirmation.

🔄 Workarounds Tried (Unsuccessful):

• New test catalog → same issue.
• Export to TIFF and reimport → same issue.
• “Constrain to image” on/off → no effect.
• Removed all rotation before crop → no effect.
• Reinstall of Lightroom → no effect.

🆘 Request:

Please confirm whether this behavior can be reproduced internally and/or whether it is being tracked as a known issue. If this is expected behavior due to some setting, clarification would be greatly appreciated.

💬 Thank you for your time — this issue severely impacts precision workflows such as abstract photography where exact cropping is essential.
