Ever since I installed LR Classic, the radial filter doesn't work. It no longer makes any kind of shape to make adjustments to. Worked fine in LR CC before the new classic. I really loved that tool so hope there is a way to get it functional again. I have done the most recent update

    What version Number is your "most recent update" of Lightroom?  Help>System Info...

    How doesn't it work?

    When you drag the cursor from the center cross- is the Radial outline Hidden?  (Keyboard press 'H' to toggle Hide/Show)

    Can you see a mask overlay when you press 'O'  (that's Oh for Overlay)?  What color is your Overlay? (change with [Shift+O] )

    Are all you adjustment sliders reset to '0' zero-no adjustments?

    With fat fingers like mine, I can often hit the H key as it sits nicely beside G (Grid view) that I use frequently, and J that is the key to toggle the Clipping indicators.

    And I love those forum posts that say "my cat walked over my keyboard!"
