Question

Keyword input box is frozen Problem not solved

MacBook Pro M1 internal SSD 1 TB 16 GB RAM Sequoia 15.5 When assigning keywords, it sometimes happens that the input is not visible when trying to enter a new keyword because the input window becomes white and remains white. You no longer have any control over what you write or which keywords were already there before. Sometimes the error occurs after 10 photos, sometimes after 500 and sometimes never during a session. It is a different number of photos each time. By closing Lightroom Classic and open it again, the error is eliminated until it happens again. What is the problem and what can i do about it?

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.
