P : Selected Published Folder or Collection is not deselected if a folder is selected

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

[Note from John R Ellis: This was reported fixed in 2015.8, but there have been numerous reports of the symptoms coming back since then: See later posts in this topic.]

It may sounds confusing, but when I select one collection or a published folder and go back to Folders and pick up one folder, Lightroom does not deselect that collection or published folder and I can not go back to that collection until I select another collection.A folder in Folders section is deselected when a collection or published folder is selected.I'm using LR CC 2015.1.1

If I'm viewing an image in one Collection and want to see it in it's original folder---I/we right click and choose Show in Folder. It takes me to that folder but now in the right tab BOTH the Folder and the Collection are highlighted and I can't switch back to that Collection---it's already highlighted even though I'm now in the original containing folder. To straighten it out I need to exit both folders by clicking on a different folder altogether and start over. Hope this description makes sense....

Matthew, please report the exact version of LR and Mac/Windows (do Help > System Info).

[mattzory]

Oops---just saw this. Didn't get a heads up on your request. Here's the info:
Lightroom version: CC 2015.7 [ 1090788 ]
Operating system: Mac OS 10Version: 10.11 [6]
Is that what you need? Thanks!
Also, looking at the screen shot above---that is indeed my issue.

[johnrellis]

Thanks, that's helpful in establishing the problem still exists in the most recent version of LR (2015.7).

I'll chime in with the same problem.  It's been happening for quite awhile, at least through all the CC/2015 releases and I seem to recall it being present in LR5 as well.  It has also persisted on my Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 machines.  I am still on CC/2015.6 so can't say if it's been fixed in 2015.7 or not.

[Rikk Flohr: Photography]

This should be fixed in the CC2015.8/6.8 Update. Give it a try and let us know. 

[mattzory]

Bingo! Thanks.

[Samoreen]

Sorry but this problem is not solved in LR CC 2015.8. It just appeared again a few days ago while working with collections. I have nothing to add to the above description. Same symptoms.

[Califdan2]

In the Library module, when I look at a PS-Collection (Publish Service Collection), the grid is segmented into sections such as New to Add, Modified to Republish, etc.  If I switch my source to a folder by clicking on the folder name and then go back to the PS-Collection, all is good.

However, if instead I click on the Regular (dumb) collection in the Collections Panel where the selected collection is synced with LR-Mobile and then go back to the PS-Collection, the PS-Collection is no longer segmented.  This problem does not occur if I had switched to a non synced collection.  

Once the problem has occurred, If I then go to a non synced collection or a folder then back to the PS-Collection it is once again segmented.

Very similar symptoms just happened to me. I had a published collection selected as the source. Then I clicked on a folder containing photos in the published collection. The published collection remained highlighted.  When I clicked on the published collection, it remained highlighted but it didn't change to the segmented view.   Then I tried selecting other collections and folders -- they selected properly, but the published collection remained highlighted and its photos didn't display.  Only when I clicked on another published collection and then back to the original published collection did it display properly.

Unfortunately, after I restarted LR and the symptoms went away, so I couldn't make a screen recording.

These symptoms are very similar to those of the bug(s) previously reported as fixed in this topic.  I've removed the "solved" designation to leave it open.

[johnrellis]

I'm on CC 2015.10 / OS X 10.11.4.

[johnrellis]

Dan, I noticed you're on CC 2015.6.1 .  Try updating to CC 2015.10 to see if the symptoms lessen or go away.

Thank you for pointing out it's a known bug.

I'm on MacOS Sierra version 10.12.3, Lightroom CC 2015.10.

When working in a collection in the Library module, if I right-click on a thumbnail and "Go to Collection..." and a publish collection, the view changes to the target publish collection, but both it and the Collection stay highlighted. As in, I've got two things selected. This makes it difficult to goback to the collection easily, not to mention that this is a regression in behavior.

If I start in a folder, and try to go to a publish collection, I still end up with both a collection and a publish service highlighted in the left-hand panel.

Wrong.

Unfortunately, this problem is still not fixed after 2 years +.  I guess it will never be as for all bugs that have a lifetime over one year. It's an Adobe tradition : once a bug a survived more than one year, it automatically becomes a feature.

[Samoreen]

And still not fixed in LR CC Classic.

[Lauca]

I confirm it's still not fixed in LR Classic 7.0.1

[Rick Spaulding -]

Hi Patrick,

Have you tried this in LrClassic 7.2?

[john beardsworth]

I confirm it remains a problem in 7.2.

[Rick Spaulding -]

Thanks John.

[grhookphoto]

The problem remains. I found it almost immediately.

[Rick Spaulding -]

Thanks, Gary.

[Sumeet_Choudhury]

Hi All,

This issue is resolved in latest Lightroom Classic CC release 7.4
Please let us know if you still face this issue. Either on Win or Mac.

Also it would be great if you could let us know the exact steps if you still face it.

Regards,
Sumeet

[johnrellis]

The steps I used previously to provoke this no longer do so, which is good. But this problem has always been intermittent for me, so I'll pay close attention going forward. Thanks.
