Bugs should only be reported for the latest or current version of Lightroom. If you believe you have a bug it must be verified on the latest version of the current release. New bug reports will not be accepted for older versions of the software.
If you believe you have encountered a bug, it is important to search the existing bugs to see if your issue and a possible solution or workaround have already been reported. If so, please add to that thread. If not, it may be prudent to start a new thread.
>90% of bugs reported are not actually bugs. Before starting a new thread, please read: P: Do I post in Discussions or Bugs?
When logging a new bug report, the Lightroom team finds it helpful if the information includes steps to reproduce the bug experience. Once we can reproduce an issue, we can start investigating a fix.
Note:
If, after some troubleshooting, we find that the bug report is, in fact, not a product bug, it will be moved out of Bugs and over to Discussions.
Do not use the word "bug" in the subject line!
Please do not mix multiple bug reports in a single post!
ETAs for bug fixes are not announced prior to release.
