I updated to 9.3 this morning. Healing aspect of spot removal tool now has bleeding in many previously edited pictures which did not previously have bleeding -- what was before a clean background with spots removed now has ugly bleeding of color, and I can't use the healing tool properly in new edits either -- bleeds result.   What can I do to fix this -- I am pretty concerned, this has affected many photos.  Thanks.

Happens to me also. I rename the folder from within LrC, not outside. No reimporting done. Sometimes it appears after a second rename. Most times, it happens after renaming first time.

This happens when you rename or move files or folders outside LrC using Windows Explorer or Mac Finder. Don't do that!

"the file is associated with another photo in the catalog."

Sounds like you reimported the renamed folder. To fix this find that folder using Windows Explorer or Mac Finder, rename it the folder name that's showing inside LrC. The exclamation points should now be gone. If you find another folder inside LrC with the same image files with exclamation points right-click on the folder and select 'Remove.' Once that's completed you can rename the folder from inside LrC by right-clicking on it and selecting 'Rename.'

Has anyone upgraded to 10 yet to see if the problem persists?

Rikk-

Healing problem seems to be fixed -- thank you.  I have a new significant problem, however, after updating.  When I rename a folder, some or all of the pictures in that folder sometimes acquire an exclamation point in the upper righthand corner.  When I click on the exclamation point, I get this message:  “4551-2.DNG” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  While I can edit the photo despite this notation, I can't publish it or rename it, and it won't let me find the photo and eliminate the exclamation point -- when I try to do so, I get the message that the file is associated with another photo in the catalog.  This is a persistent problem.  Please advise how I can eliminate this problem in the new update -- I often rename folders and this is frustrating, particularly that I now can't publish.   Thanks.  Pamina

Seems to be fixed in the mac version, too! I also have the impression that the heal stamp is much faster than before.
However, the performance in the library module in the grid view is worse.  But I'll wait a few more days to judge that.

I'm with Arnold ... I'd love to hear from anyone using a Mac and LrC 10.0, please. Thanks in advance!

Rikk, this issue appears to be fixed on my Windows 10 system using LrC 10.0.
