Publish collection auto-advance bug?
I have been experiencing a bug? for some time when using library filtering in a Publish Collection and the resulting photo auto-advance if an item gets removed from view after metadata modification.
To replicate it:
Create a Publish collection (Hard drive, Flickr or Zenfolio etc.)
Place 5 or more photos in this collection.
Apply an identical rating, color label or keyword to at least of the 4 photos
Use a library filter to display just the photos that match the above.
So, then I have for example 4 photos A,B,C,D (each rated 2 stars) that are displayed in the filtered publish collection.
If I change the rating of photo A to have a single star,
Photo A gets removed from the display and selected photo in LR then auto-advances to photo C instead of the expected photo B.
(It moves 2 positions forward instead of 1)
I have repeated this in LIghtroom 4.4, 5.71 and CC2015.9 on my desktop (Win7) and also with LR C2015.8 on my laptop (Win10).
The behavior does not change with the Auto-advance menu setting checked or not or with CAPS Lock on/off
I have also tried resetting LR preferences and using new/different catalogs.
However, without any LR setting changes it works as expected to advance only 1 photo forward if you repeat this using a regular collection or file folder with the same photos/library filter criteria.
Can anyone else replicate this? I opened a bug report several years back to report it but at the time it was not repeatable.
If you can repeat this yourself, please add your vote/comment in this bug report.
It looks like "get next photo index#" is being queried after the changed item is removed from the library filter view and not before.
