When using Compare the Candidate always becomes Selected

I am going through multiple similar pictures to reject the ones of lower quality.

I don't use any filters.

The problem is that, whenever I reject a Candidate picture, it becomes the Selected picture.

The Selected and Candidate change place.

Any idea what I am doing wrong? I find it hard to believe this is intended functionality.

    Hi @Mint C0ndition! 😊

    Thanks a bunch for the video!

    I tried following your steps but unfortunately couldn't reproduce the issue on my end. Could you try resetting your Lightroom Classic preferences and see if that helps? Resetting preferences will restore the app to its default state, so make sure to back up any preferences you want to keep. Here's how to do that: Reset Preferences.

    If that doesn't help, could you share your System Info? You can find it in Lightroom Classic under Help > System Info. Just copy the info to a text file and attach it to your response, or share it with us through Google Drive, WeTransfer, or another file-sharing platform.

    Thanks a lot!

    Hi @Mint C0ndition! 😊 Welcome to the community!

    What version of Lightroom Classic are you using? Could you share a small recording showing the issue so we can try to reproduce it on our end? Thank you!
