Map error message stuck on screen when offline [14.5.1]

Explorer ,
Sep 20, 2025 Sep 20, 2025

1. Disconnect from all internet

2. Try to open Maps module

3. Switch back to Loupe/Grid modules

 

Result: error message is stuck on screen.  Won't go away until connecting or quitting Lighrroom.

 

Expected: error message disappears after switching modules, pressing the Escape key, or something.

 

I've seen two different messages.  One said: "Unable to connect to Adobe servers.  Map module will not work." (screenshot)  The other was much shorter, I don't recall exactly but it was to the effect of "Map not connected".  Both got stuck.

 

I don't recall having this problem in the past, so possibly this a regression in 14.5.x or other recent-ish version.

I caught the second type of message in action: "Map is offline".  To recreate this one, leave Lightroom open on your laptop, put the laptop to sleep, then travel out of Wi-Fi range, and open the laptop.  The message is stuck until I reconnect.

This issue seems tied to how Lightroom 14.5.x handles offline states. Normally, error messages should clear when changing modules or pressing Escape, but here they remain stuck until reconnecting or quitting. It suggests a UI refresh bug introduced in this version, so documenting it and reporting to Adobe could help prompt a fix.
