Choosing a Color label undoes the last Develop step

[Steve Gandy]

I would expect that the color labe would be applied but instead it changes the history of the editing.

It may be more complicated than just undoing a step. See the video.... It didn't record my voice for some reason, so see the description below...

It shows the sky in the photo going black when I choose a color label.

The history panel seems to jump to a previous history. If I undo, then it jumps back to the blue sky and the history that shows that temperature adjustment

Lr Classic Current version 14.0.1

Mac Sonoma 14.7

I cannot replicate this using KBSC, Menu or Toolbar to apply the color label. 
Moving to discussions. 

You may want to consider resetting your preferences.

This procedure works for both Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Desktop.

If you are using Lightroom Desktop, it can change your local storage location. Please review this setting after resetting preferences. 

Reset Procedure:

1. Close Lightroom.

2. Hold down [Alt/Opt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom.

3. Overwrite the Preferences when prompted by the dialog.

4. Close Lightroom.

5. Restart Lightroom.

Yeah, I can't replicate it today either, after a reboot of the computer.

When you apply the RED label to your photo the custom Library filter is changing the view to a different photo in the stack.

The photo you are working with shows a file name "Gandy_20241015_1033-Enhanced-NR" and after the RED label is applied the filter hides that photo and then shows you next photo in the stack: original photo "Gandy_20241015_1033"

So, the history view is correct it is just that you are switching between two photos with different history steps because of the filter.

@bhousto90, excellent observation. This why I encourage people to submit full-resolution screenshots and screen recordings of the entire LR window!
