Importing from Another Catalog produces an empty "Previous Import" Window

Starting with Lightroom Classic 11, and still persistent in 11.0.1 today, whenever I import photos into a catalog using the "Import from Another Catalog" feature, I am presented with a blank grey screen that says "No Photos in Previous Import." However, the photos have indeed imported, and they are accessible in both the "All Photographs" category as well as when I navigate to the folder itself. They have imported just fine, and the "Previous Import" category even shows the number of images in the side bar on the left, but the images do not appear. The catalog seems to be working, but I cannot view the images in that particular window. Seems like a bug to me.

I am on MacOS 12.0.1, running the latest version of LRC.

Found the solution, while importing from another catalog, in the import dialog screen please check "Show preview button", please see the screenshot attached.

It resolved the issue for me.

thanks.

That is strange and should not be necessary (I never check that option), but if it worked for you then that is great.

I am having the same issue, did anyone find the solution. If I quit LR and re-launch it, then it show images. But that is a waste of time
