Using the Before-View shortcut makes bottom filmstrip appear and hide again

[berliner_ffm]

Using the "before"-view (CTRL+V on a German keyboard), will shortly pop up the bottom filmstrip and then hide it again, which is quite annoying if you only want to quickly see the before and after view. This way the image is shortly shown in a different size instead of just switching between the two viewmodes.

I attached a short video showing the behaviour.

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,

I recently upgraded to version 12.4.    Now when I toggle between before and after images the photo will flicker and blur, so I cannot see a smooth transiton of my changes..   Please help. 

thanks,

Tatsiana

The first thing that you should try is to switch off the GPU support from the Lightroom preferences and check if that helps to fix the issue. 

Go to Lightroom > Preferences > Performance tab > Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" > Restart Lightroom.

Someone else just reported similar symptoms -- they observed that the filmstrip was briefly popping up and then hiding immediately, causing flickering.
