Going to next photo always opens masking

Question

In Lightroom Classic 12.5.1, whenever I go to edit the next photo, it automatically brings up the masking menu if I used masking on the previous photo. I have to hit Esc every time and it's disrupting my workflow. Is there any way I can adjust this so it opens with the basic edits menu every time? I'm on a Mac with Ventura 13.6.3.

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.
