Lightroom Classic 8.4: Moves parts of keyword hierarchy - reproducible
I realized that complete branches of my keyword hierarchy disappeared from the catalogue.
I have following keyword hierarchy used for people (for face recognition)
A
- [Names starting with A]
B
- Bill Miller
- Bjorn Smith
- ...
C
- [Names starting with C]
...
STEPS to reproduce
1.I have a person identified by face recognition as "Bill Miller"
2. By accident, I assign the keyword "B" instead "Bill Miller"
3. The keyword "B" (which is the root note for all names starting with "B") does not have any other photos assigned
4. I now realized my mistake and change the "B" assignment into "Bill Miller"
5. ERROR: Lightroom now realizes, the "B" has not have anymore photos assigned the deletes "B" INCLUDING all keyword underneath B
6. As a result, all my keyword underneath "B" (which are in fact all people starting with "B") are deleted!
That is a very serious bug since it can (and did for my) destroy a lot of work and you do not realized that the keywords underneath "B" disappeared.

Can you give a more detailed explanation of the exact steps you're taking in your step 4 above?

I just tried again and can clearly reproduce it in my existing catalogue. That is indeed a very large catalogue. I will try to reproduce it with a fresh catalogue.

Kindly note that the above mentioned tools seems to have some limitation since it does not capature Win32 Dialogs, so the creating dialog for new keywords is not shown in the video.

If you unassign by using the checkbox next to the keyword first and then update the face rectangle, it appears to work as expected. I'll have to play around a little more, but that may be a workaround for now.
