UI Freezes on Image Change Until Forced Refresh via Zoom In/Out (Lightroom Desktop)
Subject: UI Freezes on Image Change Until Forced Refresh via Zoom In/Out (Lightroom Desktop)
App Version: Adobe Lightroom (Cloud-based, latest version)
OS: Windows 11 Pro
System Specs: Intel Core i9-12900K, 64 GB RAM, Intel UHD Graphics 770 (Integrated GPU)
Description of the Bug:
There is a severe UI focus/refresh bug when switching between images in the Detail/Edit view. When moving to the next photo while a local adjustment tool (such as Masking, Remove, or Crop) is active, the entire tool panel and all keyboard shortcuts become completely unresponsive.
The cursor appears stuck in a phantom "Zoom" tool state over the new image, even though it wasn't selected. The only way to unfreeze the UI and make the tools functional again is to perform a manual Zoom In and Zoom Out click on the image. This force-refreshes the screen and restores tool functionality.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Open an image and select any local tool (e.g., Remove or Masking).
- Switch to the next image (either via filmstrip or keyboard shortcuts).
- Attempt to click any tool or use a shortcut (e.g., 'C' for crop). The UI is completely frozen.
- Click the image to Zoom In, then click again to Zoom Out.
- The UI unlocks and tools start working again.
This happens regardless of GPU settings (On/Off/Custom) and is highly disruptive to the workflow on a high-end system (i9 / 64GB RAM). Please investigate this interface render pipeline glitch.
