Lightroom Crop Lock does not hold aspect ratio when resized

[Rachel5EAF]

I have 200 images.  The first image is cropped to a custom aspect ratio and locked.  The crop is then synced to all other images.  All good so far.

But when I open any other image in edit mode, and attempt to change the size of the crop (eg. by dragging a side), the crop ratio immediately changes and the custom crop is lost.  This is very frustrating problem as I am unable to apply a custom aspect ratio and make size adjustments.  Is this normal in LR?

You have clicked on the lock icon to unlock the aspect ratio?

That was not the issue.  Sorry.

The LOCK is to lock the crop to the selected aspect ratio during cropping.  If you UNLOCK then you can do a free form crop.  Its not for locking the aspect ratio from photo to photo.

When you select a different photo, the aspect ratio is set to whatever it was before you selected it, not the last aspect ratio of the crop tool.
