Question

R opens the Crop tool fine, but pressing R again to exit shows the Delete Photo dialog instead of closing the Crop tool. No custom shortcut found for R. Reproducible every time.

This happens on every photo. I don't remember this from previous versions of Lightroom Classic.

    If you have a problem like this, then:

    A: Post in ‘Questions’, not in ‘Bugs’. Not every problem is a bug, and in fact most problems are not bugs. The ‘Bugs’ section is for confirmed bugs only. Your post will be moved by a moderator if it turns out to be a bug.

    B: Give full details about your system, your OS and Lightroom Classic. Give version numbers, do not use words like ‘latest’.

    I tried to reproduce your problem in Lightroom Classic 15.4.1 on my M1 Max Mac running MacOS 26.5.2, but I can’t. The ‘R’ Key works as it should. Pressing it brings me into the Cropt Tool, pressing it again closes the Crop Tool again.

    HI, Johan. Thank you for your advice. The Lightroom Classic version is 15.4.1 running on on Macbook M1 26.5.2.

    In that case I would say that it’s something on your system that interferes with the keyboard, and definitely not a bug. If it were a bug, I would see it too. Do you have anything installed that could alter keyboard shortcuts? Any special software, any hardware that requires a driver (like a tablet)?
