Cropped images pop back to uncropped when trying to move heal tool handle UI

Question

When I'm using the heal tool in a cropped image, trying to move the handles for the heal area selection or target area selection causes the image to revert to completely uncropped, but still shows the heal UI in the place on the screen where it was (NOT the same place on the image). When I release the UI, the image pops back to cropped. This makes it very difficult to fine-tune where I'm trying to move the heal UI.

Hmm, that’s not happening in my Mac LR 15.5.1. As a first step, restart your computer. If the problem persists, try resetting LR's preferences:
https://www.lightroomqueen.com/articles-page/how-do-i-reset-lightrooms-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 resetting doesn’t help, please do the LR menu command Help > System Info, click the Copy button in the upper right corner, and paste into your reply here, so we can see exactly which versions of hardware and software LR thinks you're running and important LR options that are set.
