Lightroom overlays do not appear.

The overlays do not appear and no matter how many settings I change, they do not respond at all.

I have been getting the exact same issue that other users are mentioning since today. If I open the "masking" section, or change photos while in the "masking" section, the mask overlayed on the photo will show up, but as soon as I move my mouse it vanishes, never to be shown again.

After resetting, un- and reinstalling, and (interestingly) trying an older version of Lightroom, the problem still persists. I'm running an up-to-date Mac Book Pro (M1 Pro chip, 16 GB RAM).

Also having a similar issue with masking (not fixed in today's update 8.3.1) with Lightroom.

I'm also consistently experiencing this issue while editing photos with masks. It will briefly appear when switching between images before disappearing. Attached is a video demonstrating this odd behavior.

The only workaround I've found is to close & reopen Lightroom until it happens again.

I hope this info helps to recreate. I'm happy to help if any additional details can pin this bug down. It's been driving me crazy!

We've thus far been unable to reproduce this failure internally. We do have a bug open to investigate, but it would help us greatly identify the culprit if someone who is afflicted could provide precise, reproducible instructions that our engineers could use to diagnose the problem.

Our Engineers have identified the issue and are working on the fix for the upcoming release.

Thank you for your patience.

Apple MacBook Pro M1 16GB running macOS 15.3.2

Load Lr Desktop
Select a photo
Click on Landscape masking and wait for Lr to detect landscape
When complete, hover over the different categories
Mask overlays do not show on photo when cursor hovers over categories (Architecture, Sky, Vegetation etc). Sometimes they do, but for only 1 or 2 categories then it disapears for the rest.
Same behaviour is observed using the similar features in the Person masking tool

Thanks

A couple of engineers have tried to reproduce this and are unable to see this behavior with the instructions provided.

Does this happen to just one image or all images?

Hi. Most of the images I've tried so far. Either the overlays won't appear after analysing the image, or one or two will appear then the rest won't (like in the video). I assume you are trying to reproduce the issue on the same spec machine? I can confirm this doesn't seem to be an issue with either in LrC or Camera Raw.

Which overlay exactly?

Did you try to hit the 'o' key?

Lately, the last release or or so, the mask color overlays stop showing when mousing over masks or with the "show overlay" option selected.

I've tried changing overlay colors, changing out of develop and back in, but only restarting LR fixes the problem.
