Updated Lr classic a few mins ago and went my import section to add some new images. While zooming to check for focus issues, my zoom options are all scuffed. It only zooms out now to a smaller scale and will not zoom in as it has for the last 10yrs or so ive used LR, unless i go to the manual zoom slider? Ive checked for a fix online but no results. Any fix to this i may have missed as its hindering my efficiencies and an actual annoyance.

What camera do you use and what previews do you render on import? If you import with 'Embedded & sidecar' previews, then Lightroom Classic will use the previews that your camera embedded in the raw files. Not all cameras embed full size previews however. Some embed only a small preview so zooming into that preview will have the effect that you see.

How are you expecting to do this zoom, that is no longer present? What tool did you use? Please describe in detail. Can you show us a screen capture of where you think the zoom should be?
