Heal edits all gone when switching to another fixing tool before sync

Reproducible at least on all recent Adobe Lightroom Mobile for Android versions.

To reproduce:

  1. Make couple of applications of the Heal tool.
  2. Approve.
  3. Without forcing sync from now on (e.g. by switching to another image), switch to another edit menu (than the Fixing tools).
  4. Switch back and pick Remove tool.
  5. Change your mind and switch to another edit menu (than the Fixing tools).

Expected result:

Previously made Heal edits stay.

Actual Result:

All (Approved!) Heal tool edits are gone (potentially minutes of lost progress), with no way to recover.

I cannot reproduce it after this week’s update. Sorry about that.

It can be reproduced even for other tools (e.g. the Remove), even in a simpler way: without switching to another fixing tool. Just going elsewhere and back and then elsewhere is enough to lost approved edits.

Hey ​@brodecva

 

Thank you for reporting this issue. We’ll need a big more details to be able to test this properly. Can you share what version of Lightroom you’re using as well as your OS version?
