P: Importing Portrait HEIC + XMP files does not recognize face region

[caimers]

Steps:

-Import HEIC photos into LR Classic.

-Use facial detection to frame and tag photos

-Save Metadata to File.

-Verify Region info is in XMP file

-Delete Imported photos

-Re-Import Photos (with XMP file)

-No longer detects the face regions/names

-BUT... only for portrait photos. Works fine with landscape or photos rotated to landscape

HELP!!!

Thank you for reporting this.

We have been able to reproduce this issue and have logged a bug for the same.

Thanks,

This didn't seem to be resolved in the 10.1 update. Any word on when this will be resolved?

It also appears to be the case when importing portrait JPG files as well. When tagging these photos in LR Classic and opening in other programs, the face regions stick. But just when re-importing those portrait JPG/HEIC+XMP files, LR Classic doesn't read the Face Region even though it's in the XMP or JPG Metadata.

Now we have January and the bug still isn't fixed 

Is there any date, when a bugfix will be relased?
