All of a sudden my dialogs have become unreadable. Anyone seen anything like this? I'm also losing the brush disks in clone, remove and masks, which may be related.

Im not sure what happeend but i opened Lightroom Classic today and the "Copy Settings" and 'Preferences" tabs are blacked out, not sure how to fix them. Ive tried to restart the aplication, downgrade and re upgrade the software, uninstall and reinstall the aplication as well as restarting my computer (macOs)a and making sure my software is up to date. If anyone has any recomendations id love to hear them, Thank you!

Try to reset the preferences of Lightroom Classic: How to reset Lightroom Classic preferences (adobe.com)

It's recommended to backup your preferences before you reset the preferences to the default settings:

Don't be surprised if it pops up again with another update. This is frequent with betas, regressions happen a lot.

Hello, my Lightroom Classic has a bug where using the copy or sync window displays black icons. The same black window also appears when saving a preset.

My Lightroom is fully updated to the latest as of today (04.08.25)

My macbook is running a developer beta (MacOS 26, Tahoe), so I assume this has something to do with it, but i'm posting to see if anyone has had a similar issue on previous MacOS software.

Laptop Specs: Late 2021 Macbook Pro, Apple M1 Max, 2TB, 32GB memory.

Known issue. Don't install MacOS beta software on a production machine!

I understand not using beta softwae on production machines. The Macbook is not my main machine. I just Adobe would like to know there is an issue. Adobe should work with Apple to resolve the problem, not the people running the beta softwae. There is an issue with Lightroom and MacOS 26. I guess from the response from Adobe that Adobe really does not care and stays with their basic corporate philosophy that the users are stupid and only Adobe knows what is best.

Macbook Pro M4 Pro. Lightroom Classic, Latest Version

The SYNC ALL dialog box is useless. I have removed the app and resinstalled. The same problem occurs. The box is all black and no text can be read.

Make sure you report this via the Apple feedback app. That's the entire purpose of a public beta, its NOT for you, its for Apple and developer testing and reporting. We don't recommend using the betas for production work as they are unfinished and a pain to roll back to the release OS.

Me pasa exactamente lo mismo. Tengo la versión beta publica de OS 26 Tahoe.

la solución momentanea es conectar un segundo monitor a mi Macbook Pro, arrastrar el cuadro de dialogo y volver a traer el cuadro de dialogo a la pantalla principal, es un poco tedioso pero por el momento solucióna el problema.

Les dejo un video explicando un poco.
