How to stop Crop defaulting to custom (1x1)

Hi all, 

My first post on here, I've been using Lightroom and Photoshop for years. 

All of a sudden, when I go to the crop overlay, it seems to auto set to custom aspect which for whatever reason is 1x1. 

I want to keep this as to as shot/original aspect ratio, as its always been before. This is usually 3x2, which I prefer anyway. 

I have tried going into custom and putting 3x2. But on the next image, when I go to the crop menu, its gone back to custom (1x1) as default. 

Does anyone know how I default this back to as shot?

I have never changed any default crops, neither have I cropped to 1x1 previously so not sure why this has started. 

Cheers in advance. 

Sam

Look at the crop tool panel on the left. What does it say for the aspect ratio? Does it say 'original'? If so, then this is a setting that you (inadvertently) activated in your camera, and Lightroom Classic is reading it and applies it.
