P: Retouch circle automatically becomes smaller on images with Transform Adjustments

Since I have updated to Lightroom Classic 12.4, the retouch circle automatically becomes smaller every time I use it in the same picture. For example, I put the width of the circle on 20 and use it, then I go to another spot in the picture to use the same tool and automatically LR has changed the width to 19. Then to 18, 17, 16 and so on. Anyone having the same problem? This looks like a bug?

Thank you for any comments.

Rikk,

I just did a quick test and found that my retouch circle becomes smaller when I have a Transform correction made.   It also becomes smaller when I have Enable Profile Correctons checked in Lens Corrections.

For those experiencing this issue, we would like you to test something for the team and report back.

 

Do you see the issue only on images with Lens Corrections? Only on images where a Transform adjustment is made? 

If you reset both of those, does the problem continue?

Got a very weird bug going on and honestly I don't know how to reproduce it.

Whilst using any one of the Masking Tools in Lightroom, every click I make reduces the size of it's Brush and I would have to constantly resize it upwards so it can be of size again.

This has only started to happen since I updated Lightroom Classic this morning and I have no idea of what it could be. done the classic of closing Lightroom & restarting my laptop and nothing seems to be working.

spot removal tool decreases in size with each selection 

 

YOU GUYS SERIOUSLY NEED TO CREATE AN EASIER METHOD FOR REPORTING ISSUES.

Adobe has acknowledged this bug:

There's no confirmed workaround -- rolling back to LR 12.3 might help.

 

LR releases about every eight weeks, so we might expect to see LR 12.5 next week or the week after, and hopefully this will be fixed.

I am using a Macbook with an M1 chip and Lightroom 12.4.   Recently the Healing/Clone/Content Aware Brush will gradually become smaller in size as I use it.   Please help!

A formal bug report for this issue was submitted some weeks back. There is currently no workaround or timeframe for a fix.
