View on secondary monitor is always fuzzy until you change the image in any way

Lightroom Classic - 11.5 release Camera Raw 14.5

Build [202208080927-8a575c91]

OS - Windows 10 Home -version 21H1

 

Steps to reproduce - 

  • Open Lightroom
  • turn on 2nd monitor display
  • select any photo. The photo selected will be sharp on the primary screen, but fuzzy on the secondary
  • No change something like making it use auto settings.
  • The image on 1st and 2nd screens is now sharp as expected. 

It's as if the refresh of data has forced both screens to reload. 

On the inital load/selection of the photo you can see the photo loading and sharpening as it does so - but appears to stop 1 step before becoming fully sharp.  If I move onto another photo then come back to inital photo - it is now sharp.

I've updated to the latest version which seems to be a big update and the issue is no longer an issue 👍

Your standard previews might be too small for the resolution of the secondary display. Check the standard preview setting in catalog settings > File Handling. It is likely a bug however that it doesn't generate the preview correctly as soon as you open the image in develop.

I did check those settings before I did an update. It was set to auto and in ( ) my monitor res. Given it's now fixed in latest release I'm happy again.

It appears to me that Lightroom loads a low resolutions preview (are high-resolution previews generated?), until it get forced to generate a high-resolution preview.

Not sure it's quite that, and even if it was I'd still onsider that an issue.
So if I let it load, then go to another photo, then back again - it then renders fully.  As if it has a slightly higher baseline to start from, then completes it fully.

If I quit LR, then open it back again, it will do the same again to a previously fully rendered image on the 2nd monitor screen.
