I'm using the most current version of Lr Classic w/ Windows 10.  When I toggle the Crop tool OFF, I see a flash of another image... or perhaps a zoomed-in part ot the existing image, before the crop tool is deactivated.

And this is still a thing with the latest and greatest version 9.0 of Lightrooom Classic. Unbelievable. 
How can they not be fixing this? It's like Adobe just does not know how to handle the GPU acceleration. Shaking my head....

I have the same problem today running LR 8.0 - the previous image and crop does not go away. I went to set preferences and unchecked the box about using the GPU. The LR display (in my background) immediately changed to the correct image. I thought I'd go back and turn on the GPU to see what would happen then - when I got there in the LR preferences, I found the the Use GPU box was already checked! I don't think that should be the case, since I just unchecked that same box. Is this a different bug, or a "feature?" I vote for "Bug."

So not sure if this is a fix but the problem seems to have gone away.
I've done two things recently and not sure which one if any have fixed the problem but figured I would share in case someone else wanted to test it.
First thing I did was disable LogiOptions plug-in in plug-in manager. I did this in an attempt to remedy another problem I was having after deleting images from a collection.
The second thing I changed recently was the Tool Overlay option after the Crop function is selected.
I usually kept that on Always but changed it to Auto.
I just edited the first 350 images from a wedding and not once did it flash to an old image.
In the past, I would have to restart LR after about 50-100 images because I couldn't stand it anymore. 
Hope this helps!!

Cheers,
Toby

At my system it DOES show the last image for a very short time.
"funny" detail: when you press <ctrl+r> at a video the display shows "video is not supported in develop module". When you switch back to the library, select an image and press <ctrl+r> this dialog window "video is not supported in develop module" is shown for a short time.

It doesn't show the last image anymore but the lag is still there. It's just the background instead of the last image.
