Question

Map markers are not updated when photos are moved in the map module

Just starting today the Map module is leaving behind markers for a photo or photos that have been moved. It also continues to show markers for photos that have been opened but are no longer in the directory being worked in. If I leave LRC and come back in, all is well but I've never had to do this before. It is more of an annoyance than a major issue, but it does clutter up my screen while moving things. I am in the process of locating old photos that have inaccurate or no geotagging and this behavior is slowing me down. I’m running 15.3 on a MacBook Air. Has anyone else seen this or have a suggestion of how to fix this behavior?

    @Rikk Flohr_Photography, ​@Sameer K, I provided a bug recipe above for quickly reproducing this problem -- please move to bugs:

    I see the same misbehavior on LR 15.3 / Mac OS 26.4.1. To reproduce (see the attached screen recording):

     

    1. Open the attached catalog.

     

    2. Select both photos.  

     

    3. Go to the Map module and ensure the map pin for the photos is displayed.

     

    4. Drag the photos from the filmstrip to a different nearby location on the map.

     

    5. Observe there are now two map pins (incorrect).

     

    6. Go to Library and back to Map, and observe the two map pins are still there (incorrect).

     

    7. Restart LR and observe there is no just one map pin (correct).

    I am running MacOS 26.5 but you are seeing the same behavior I am.

    BTW, I have restarted my computer, restarted LRC and reset preferences but the behavior continues.

    Does this still occur after restarting the computer?  If so, it would be good if you posted a screen recording of the entire LR window showing this misbehavior:
