This happens frequently when I rename a folder.
Folder renames correctly but behind all the windows is a blank persistant "Rename Folder" window that can't be moved or closed. Lightroom hangs when i try to quit, likely due to this window.

BTW this started with latest update. Using Lightroom Classic 14.1.1 on Mac OS 15.2

First, restart your computer. If the problem persists, try resetting LR's preferences:

LR sometimes soils its preferences file, and resetting it can fix all sorts of wonky behavior. That article explains how to restore the old preferences if resetting doesn't help.

Hi @GWSHARK101! 👋
Please follow John's suggestion and let us know if it helps. Does this happen with every folder, or just specific ones like those containing videos? Do you see similar behavior when you move folders?
In the meantime, a workaround is to rename the folder outside of Lightroom Classic. This will make the folder 'missing' (with a question mark and its name in italics). To reconnect it, right-click on the folder in the Lightroom folder panel and choose 'Find Missing Folder'. In the dialog that appears, navigate to the folder's new location/name on disk and select it.
Hope this helps!
Thanks so much! Alek
