Cropping by mouse, problem with orientation: back to old behaviour

[my cc]

Hi,

after the latest update to v15 of LR for Windows, the behaviour of the cropping tool changed. It's really annoying:

It is very difficult to create a selection in portrait format with the mouse in this case. Simply dragging diagonally downwards is no longer sufficient – see my screen video here:

Any idea to get back the old behaviour – not by using the previous version of LR 😉

Thanks!

The first thing I would check is the mouse driver, try replacing it with a new copy of the most current version of the driver.

No, it's not a driver problem! I use a mouse AND a graphic tablet – with no differences when drawing the crop rectangle.

As you can see in the screen video: Within a portrait-format photo, I cannot simply draw/create the cropping rectangle by dragging it diagonally to the bottom right — as I am used to doing in Lightroom and other programs in general.

I agree that using the Aspect tool when croppin a vertical image is messed up.  I works on on a horizontal image if you hit "X" before using the tool.

Tipp from Copilot:

Wenn du präzise arbeiten möchtest, kann es helfen, das Seitenverhältnis explizit zu setzen (z. B. 2:3 oder 4:5) und dann mit der „X“-Taste zwischen Hoch- und Querformat zu wechseln.

→ if I explicitly set up the proportion from "Original" (2:3!)  to 2:3, the cropping tools works as before and as in all other programs. But what is the idea behind it? I can't find any... 😞

It's a bug. There is no "idea" here. Perhaps you should report it as a bug, following these instructions: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-bugs/p-how-do-i-write-a-bug-report/idi-p/12386373
