When creating an album in catalogue while multiple photos are selected, only one photo gets attached to album

When I create a new album via the context menu “Create album...”(i tend to do it in an annual folder e.g. 2026/<EVENT_NAME>) while I have selected a bunch of photos that belong to that event or group, only one photo gets associated with the newly created album. Naturally, the “Include the selected photo” is checked in the “Create album” dialog box. It has always been the case that all selected photos inherit the association and, if memory serves me correctly, it also displayed the number of photos that are selected and would inherit the album metadata as result. Now I need an additional selection process separately after creating an album, this increases my workload by about 30%. I often have 10 to 12 event shoot groups when loading photos and this is serious loss in productivity, its incredibly annoying. My versions are: MacOS26.5 on MacBook Pro M1 pro, Lightroom cloud version 9.3.1 “from the Mac appstore”.
