Reject flag not working (again)

New Here ,
Oct 20, 2025 Oct 20, 2025

using X, and/or right-click > Set flag > Reject is mostly not working, primarily on raw files. This is very annoying when you need to go through your photos and some of the raw files that you flagged are not flagged anymore. You can spot them while going through your photos because they don't dim, but it doesn't matter what you do, flag them once, twice 3, 4, 5 times either with X or with the mouse they just won't keep their flag setting.

Hi @moredruid! Welcome to the community!
I tried testing this on my end but couldn’t reproduce the issue. Could you check your Lightroom preferences under Interface and make sure “Disable single-key shortcuts” isn’t enabled?


If that doesn’t help, you might want to try resetting your Lightroom preferences in case an internal file is causing the problem. Here’s how to do that:

Hope this helps!
