Lightroom Classic - Freezing when zooming and cropping

Question

When cropping and zooming on images, I constantly end up with the program freezing on the zoomed or cropped photo. It does not change if I switch images. It started to occur ever since the update to Lightroom Classic 23 and the issue consistently occurs now and then when cropping, rotating, or zooming into an image. It can be the first time doing any of the said actions, or the twentieth time during an editing session.

As of writing this report, the latest Lightroom version was 12.1, the problem is still occurring and is extremely annoying since the only solution I have found is to restart Lightroom. (The video is also from me using Lightroom 12.1.)

Please Adobe, fix this issue.

Try resetting your Lightroom preferences:

Quit Lightroom Classic.
macOS: Press and hold the Shift + Option keys.
Windows: Press and hold the Shift + Alt keys.
While holding down the keys, launch Lightroom Classic.
When asked, select "Yes".

If that doesn't work, disable GPU in preferences; better?
