Cropped Image Resizes Automatically When Moved Using Arrow Keys

Hi Adobe Team,

 

I’ve encountered a bug in Lightroom Classic 14.0.1 on macOS 15.1.1. Here’s the issue:

 

When I crop an image and then move it (e.g., using the arrow keys), the crop boundary automatically shrinks. This happens consistently if I hold down an arrow key or press it multiple times.

 

Steps to reproduce:

01. Open an image in Lightroom Classic.

02. Apply a crop.

03. Use the arrow keys to adjust the position of the cropped area.

04 .Observe that the cropped area shrinks automatically.

 

This behavior is frustrating and interrupts my workflow. It would be great if this issue could be addressed in the next update.

I'm not seeing the issue you describe even though I followed the steps you set out above. The crop moves across or up/down frame as expected but does not change size. Try resetting your preference file as described by @Per Berntsen

Possibly arrow keys affect crop values as if focus stays in crop numbers? I have seen similar behaviour when I try to alter perspective transform values in zoomed in picture..

I'm not seeing this behavior on Windows 10, LrC 14.01.

Try resetting the preferences.
