LR 12.0.1

More problems. Now if I attempt to flag an image in Library or Develop mode, the flag icon does not appear on the thumbnail.

Troubleshooting steps:

 

1. Do View > View Options and ensure the option Grid View > Cell Icons > Flags is checked.

 

2. Try resetting LR's preferences:

LR sometimes soils its preferences file, and resetting it can fix all sorts of wonky behavior. That article explains how to restore the old preferences if resetting doesn't help.
