P: Select Subject - Subtract Object - Opens new window

[davidh48899348]

I want to report an apparent bug. I am using an M1 chip Mac Mini with Monterey 12.6 OS and Lightroom 12.

Using the masking tool, having selected a Subject and then going to subtract an Object from the section, as soon as the cursor crosses from the menu to the picture window, the Mac automatically opens a new Mac Desktop window, it won't let you remove an object. 

It is not a feature I would use often and I was merely trying it as an option but the same does not happen if subtracting the same object using a brush. Easily worked around but no doubt a bug nevertheless.

MacBook Pro 2022 with Ventura OS here. Same problem, but it has started switching windows when I try to select using a new mask with object selection. Happened both with just the object mask and with other masks (and subtract/add). Seems to work again after quitting and restarting LRC.

You can use Objects but must not use Full Screen mode as the bug happens only in full screen mode.

Thanks @davidh48899348 .

We are aware of this issue and is being tracked by the same bug that @C.Cella has reported.

For now, the workaround is not to use fullscreen mode(just for Objects)

I have the same issue with the Object mask. It works as long as it is not in full screen mode. Does work in partial screen mode. I mentioned the Mask Panel not showing as a separate issue but now I see this is related. When in Full screen mode the Mask Panel does not appear when I open Masks. But, if I go to partial screen mode, the Mask Panel appears as it should. Oddly, if I then go back to Full screen mode, the Mask Panel appears as it should. Go figure.
