Another weird bug in LrC 15

 

In Library Module selct more than 1 Photo.
Add Keywords.

Hey Adobe, Are you actually doing testing  before releasing a new Version?

Hey Adobe, Are you actually doing testing before releasing a new Version?

 

So, if it was your fault, I guess you know the answer to the question above.

 

Auto Sync has nothing to do with Keywords, so I don't understand your solution to the problem. Maybe the real answer has to do with this, maybe you need to select "Selected Photos"

And make sure you are in Grid view, not Loupe view.

Sigh,  not even experts can remember all of LR's inconsistent rules about multiple selections -- each of the replies above is not quite right or incomplete. (I can't remember, so I always test before replying.)

 

In Library Grid view, keywords apply to all selected photos.

 

In Library Loupe view, keywords apply only to the current photo, not other selected photos, unless you have Library Auto Sync enabled. (As @wysiwygot remembered.)

 

The options Target Photo | Selected Photos doesn't affect keywords in Grid or Loupe view, just fields in the Metadata panel.
