Issue:  Curve adjustment does not work properly. Small adjustment control point jumps erraticaly.

 

Lightroom Classic version: 13.2

OS and version: MacOs Sonoma 14.3

 

Expected result: Lightroom Classic should do more precise adjustment of the control point.

Actual result: Lightroom Classic does not allow for precise adjustment.

    Tested, tried again PS and C1 pro, tested mouses, trackpads...turned off graphics acceleration, the only thing that doesnt work is this curve 🙂

    So I rolled back few versions up to 12.5.1, and no progress. It seems it's MacOs bug, I have no other explanation.

    Updated that, run hw diagnostics, all fine, no progress. 

     

    Thanks for your help.

    A couple of questions, just because I’m curious:

     

    What input device are you using, a trackpad, mouse, or graphics tablet?

     

    Is the problem only with dragging a point, or is precise editing still possible using the keyboard nudging technique?

    Here's a video of it.

    Trackpad-mouse, option key, the same. Keyboard up-down for control point does not work.

    It is a M1 max graphics.

    Uninstall-restart-install does not help. This is from LRc version 13, it worked fine before- I work a lot with curves and allways found LR curves to be un-precise compared to PS, but this is abnormal behaviour and I'm stuck with saved curves untill resolved.

    Have you tried holding the [Option] key while dragging for precision?

    Yes. Nothing changes with option key pressed. The moved control point snaps erratically from desired place option key pressed or not. Looks like a bug to me.

    Working as advertised here. 

    The Curve moves smoothly.  With the [Opt] key, it moves smoothly, only about 1/10th as fast. 

    You might try attaching a screen recording here so that one of the Community Experts can advise you on troubleshooting.
