Keyword info panel not updating

Question

Windows 11, LRc v 12.5, I have circa 65k images in my catalogue and have keyworded approximately half the images, some with multiple words. When browsing in the library view, the keywords associated with the previous image persist in the keyword panel once a different image is selected. If I shutdown and restart the correct keywords associated with the second image are then displayed.

These particular images are stored on a NAS drive, my workflow is to keep current (< 6 months ) images on an SSD drive and move them to NAS storage as local storage fills. Not sure how to report this to Adobe, or if indeed this post constitutes such a report!

This is the correct place to report problems (usually better than contacting Adobe support).

Try deleting the Helper.lrdata folder:

a) Do Catalog Settings > General > Show to open Finder / File Explorer on the current catalog folder.
b) Exit LR.
c) In that folder, delete the folder "<catalog> Helper.lrdata".
d) Restart LR, and it will rebuild the folder.

The Helper.lrdata folder caches information about metadata, keywords, folders, collections, and other things to speed the performance of LR and it can sometimes get corrupted. In recent versions, LR has used it more heavily to improve the speed of displaying metadata, and there have been a fair number of bugs with it.
