Problem with Book Module in New LR CC Classic

I have made several books with the Lightroom CC Classic book module without trouble.  A few days ago I updated to the newest version of LR CC Classic and am having problems with the Book module.  If I just work in the Book module all works well.  However, if I switch to the Library module and then back to the Book module, the pages of the multi-page view don't repopulate fully until the cursor is placed over them.  The more I switch back and forth to the Library module the worse the problem gets.  Surprisingly, if I go to the two page spread view and then back to the multi-page view the pages repopulate as they should for a while.  However this doesn't seem to last.  

 

I am working on a Mac with OSX 14.6 with all the latest updates.  I have tried closing down Lightroom and restarting it.  This works for a short while until I again switch to the Library mode.  I have also tried rebooting the system that only fixes the problem for a short time.  Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Did you ever find a solution to this problem?  I seem to be having the same issue with LR Classic 9.0.  I've rebooted, reinstalled LR, erased the preferences file, etc.  Nothing seems to help.  Thanks!

    And I'm having a problem in LR Classic 9.4. I've used LR to create books for years. Now I can populate a collection and but not create a new book. As an example, today I created a test collection of 14 pages for a book. Then I created a new book based on the collection and dragged the 14 pages into it. When I shift from Library to Book modules, only two of the pages appeared. The same thing happens with some of the books I created previously. I'm at a loss as to know how to deal with this and will appreciate any suggestions (other than those Redzuba tried - and which I have also tried).

    I've no idea, other than it was a .plist setting.

    plist = Preference file.

    As I suggested- A reset of the LrC preferences file.

    Hi John,

     

    Is it possible for you to share the catalog?

    It will help us isolate the root cause.

     

    Thanks,

    I see a brief pause before my book pages are 're-drawn' in multi-page view, but never a long delay or the re-draw with cursor over. (Windows-10)

    Suggestions-

    Always work from a 'Saved Book Collection', [Library] or [G] will take you back to a Grid view of the photos in the Saved Book.

    To return to the Book- always [Double-click] the Saved Book Collection, (or one click the white arrow on the Collection). Never use the top menu [Book] to go back to a book that has be saved in a Collection!

     

    I know that Lr-Classic v8.0 had bad problems with the book module, I hope these are not re-surfacing in v9!
