--- 2nd try to get it fixed ---

Hint: Of course this wrong map-behavior works with other cities / locations, too.

  1. Select (e. g.) 'New York' library folder.
  2. Map Module: Open it and make photo GPS allocation tasks in New York. 
  3. Go back to the Library Module.
  4. Close LrC.
  5. Open LrC.
  6. Select some library folder different to the before used New York folder, e.g. Washington.
  7. In library folder Washington, GPS data already present: Click on a photo GPS coordinate icon. The Map Module opens.
  8. Expected Map Module behavior: The photo location in Washington is shown.
  9. Actual Map Module behavior: The New York map is shown.

On a other PC with Windows 11 - Pro 25H2 it shows the same issue. This was also seen before LrC 15.4.1 and 15.5.

    This was supposed to be fixed in LrC 15.5, and I have tried similar things in my LrC 15.5 (Windows 11) and didn’t see the problem. But I didn’t do exactly what you said above, so when I get home I will try exactly what you said and let you know what happens.

    1. It would very kind if you could reproduce it.
    2. That it is not fixed is clear: It is and was always a different bug compared to P: Map markers are not updated when photos are moved in the map module. I complained about the merge of these bugs, no one (Rikk F.) helped or even commented on my post.

    Yes, I too felt it shouldn’t be merged. I did write in that thread about the previous problem which seems identical to yours, where I put the pins on the map for Folder A, and then later in the same LrC session I switch to Folder B and tried to map those photos, so I wanted to have Folder B pins on the map (and not Folder A pins on the map), but they were both present on the map. (And this appears to be fixed)

    There are still other apparent bugs in the map operation to which I don’t think have been fixed, and I will be writing a bug report soon.
