LR Curve adjustment difficult on MacOS Sierra

I'm running the latest CC with the MacOS Sierra Beta on a rMBP-13. I've noticed that adjusting curves is incredibly difficult. I can't make a minor adjustment to any point, it's  a massive jump requiring a lot of touchpad movement. Similarly, scrolling to adjust brush size is either very large or small.

Anybody else have this issue? !

Hi Richard Hade​, Xavier F​, and Bob Somrak​,

Unfortunately, you're all right. The tone curve panel is still having issues. The team has acknowledged the continuing of this bug. Here's the latest bug report and thread that the team is following: Tone curve still broken in LR CC2015.8 | Photoshop Family Customer Community

If you could all go to that thread and post your respective System Information and other relevant details or at least, click the "Me Too" button up top, that would help the bug stay at the top of our priority.

Thank you for following up and being persistent with these bugs.

Works for me now finally with LR 2015.10 and macOS 10.12.4. Thanks for fixing. It's been a long wait.

The problem with working in the Curves in Lightroom

Hi All

This issue should be fixed in the latest release of Lightroom(2015.8/6.8).

Refer Lightroom CC 2015.8 now available

I wish I could confirm that but it wouldn't be true...

First of all... it's MUCH better - thank you for that. But (unfortunately) the fix is not fully working, at the start it works smooth and as it should, but after the moment of adjusting the curve my mouse hits invisible wall on the right side of curve area.
It seams like Lightroom is still sending some data to macOS (not all, just from time to time) about cursor position changes and when they accumulate enough to hit the right border of the screen the invisible wall on curve area appears - because mouse can't go any further.

In LR5 (even on macOS Sierra) problem does not exist, because when you hit the curve area it looks like macOS somehow ignores mouse moves and not letting it to reach the screen border after a while of constant adjusting.

In general, it looks like there were a conflict between mouse position on curve area and general mouse position (from OS point of view) and now LR is just reading general mouse position which is limited by screen borders.

WORKAROUND (can't believe I still have to look for workarounds ;P):
- making smaller adjustments and not "going crazy" on curve area
OR resize LR window so the curve area is further from the border of the screen

Guys, let me know if you can confirm that.

I'm a little surprised that at this point there are only 22 replies to this. Makes me wonder how widespread this issue is and if there isn't something specific to our having encountered it.

I totally agree. Makes me wonder if a person just needs to do a fresh install or something? Or maybe a prefs dump? Those are such simple troubleshoots, however no one has suggested that at all. Very curious...

Same thing here. Infuriating to say the least. Running MacOS 10.12.1 on Early 2013 MacBook Pro Retina. Please help Adobe...

I can confirm, having the same issue with Sierra. This has been going on for a while and I'm sick of it.

Not being able to use Tone Curve in LR 2017 on Sierra is so annoying I want to throw my workstation through the window. Please guys, check your updates more carefully. We depend on you with our professional lives.

p.s. Have a great day!

I can confirm the problem. macOS Sierra and using Tone Curve is almost impossible, very frustrating...

Same with brush sizes.

Waiting for Adobe to see this problem and solve :/
