Question

spacebar shortcut for "zoom to fit" is broken

On mac os tahoe 26.3.2, the spacebar “zoom to fit” stops working correctly after zooming into a couple of photos. I expect the image to fit to whatever working window the app has available. But when it stops working and I hit spacebar, the zoomed image seems to be zoomed to fit to a completely different window size, it’s maddening. The only way to fix it is to reload one of the ui elements (as in, hide the editing pane and reshow it). It works properly while I edit another image or two, then it invariable breaks.

    Hey, @rishi. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll need specific info about your workflow to help you figure this out.

     

    I am using Lightroom v9.5 on macOS 26.6.1, and the issue didn't appear with 3 screens connected. Please test and confirm whether the issue occurs with a specific set of steps. Please share a video & screenshots of the workflow and the system info from Lightroom Help > System info > Copy and paste into a text document > Upload and attach here.


    Thanks!
