Mask Color Remaining as part of print

[Boing PT-17]

Apple Sonoma 14.1.1   Lightroom clasic 13.0.1

Develop > Tools > Mask Overlay (create mask) AUTO HIDE MASKING PANEL is grayed out & not selectable.  Whin I create a mast the mask color becomes a permanent part of print, unless I deleate the mask. This was not a problem until I upgraded to the current version.

Not on a MAC, on a WIN. Selecting a photo with no masks, that option does appear (the  others in the panel in question do not as no mask exist) . So not a question of existing mask or not.

Odd behavior, Have you considered that your preferences file may have gotten corrupted?

Resetting Lightroom Preferences solved the problem. You were a great help.
