Title: serious bug
Post by: Jeremy Roussak on June 29, 2013, 08:30:45 am
I've found this bug with several photos.

Start with a photo edited in a previous version of LR. In develop module, there's a list of commands in the history on the left.

If I click anywhere in the history, all edits above where I have clicked disappear and replaced with "Post-Crop Vignette Style: Paint Overlay". I have no vignette applied.

"Undo" doesn't then work: the edits are irretrievably lost.

Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions?

Jeremy

No ideas, but my suggestion would be to post on the Adobe forum at http://forums.adobe.com/community/lightroom?view=discussions (http://forums.adobe.com/community/lightroom?view=discussions), where there probably more Adobe staffer's lurking to comment.  (Yes, I know there are a few here too.)

Thanks. Done (in a slightly expanded form).

Just wanted to check.  Have you tried using a different browser .

If yes then my apologies.  Its just that on my laptop the browser I also use on my main machine has some odd issues
with various action/logon buttons.

I was directed to a thread on feedback.photoshop.com, in which Becky Sowada, an Adobe employee, had written:

There is a bug in which Process Version 2003 photos (only) in catalogs that have been upgraded to Lightroom 5.0 will incorrectly get a "Post Crop Vignette: Paint Overlay" History State applied when further processed in the Develop Module. This in-and-of-itself is innocuous, however, for photos in this condition, selecting a subsequent History State can reset existing settings that follow that state in the History panel. This reset cannot be undone, effectively deleting any settings that have been applied after the selected History State.

We are working on a fix for next dot release of Lightroom. In the meantime, a back-up copy of your previous Lightroom catalog is always recommended and will insure that all settings are recoverable for those who experience this issue.


So, we wait. And we don't edit PV2003 photos (even those which have since been upgraded to PV2010) in the meantime.

PS: watsonm, you have the wrong end of the stick: this is a bug in LR5 and nothing to do with browsers.

That is one scary bug. I'm glad I haven't seen it yet. Thanks for the warning.
