Lightroom: Library collection panel scrolls unexpectedly when you duplicate/rename/delete a collection set

I don't have a Windows machine to test on so that extra test is much appreciated! And thank you for filing the bug!

This should be fixed in the CC2015.8/6.8 Update. Give it a try and let us know. 

This still occurs for me whenever I rename a collection that is currently NOT selected: https://youtu.be/zKW5vJmnYII

did you ever get a solution to this?  I am having the same problem.

The issue is still in-progress (see the top of this thread). While most occurrences have been fixed, there are still a few lingering places where this happens. 

You need to have enough smart collections that they fill your panel as the bug is that the collection viewport jumps around upon duplicating, renaming or deleting the aforementioned collections. So you can’t reproduce the bug if you don’t have enough smart collections.

This wasn't fixed for me. I right-clicked a collection set, clicked "Create Collection Set...", wrote my title, clicked "Create" and then the left panel under "Collections" moved up, again, to the highest, already opened collection set, which happened to be at the top. I had to scroll all the way back down, trying to traverse the tree of open collections to find where I was before.

I'm the OP of this bug so I thought I should make another video and post my system info again.

Thanks for the video. I've reopened the issue. 

Would you like me to record a 5 minute video of my workflow process? When I need to make new folders, a number of smart collections to stay organized, it seems to be quite a battle to always be scrolling and really takes time away from editing photos. I know I should be looking at Lightroom CC but my entire collection and everything I'm used to is in Classic.

"I know I should be looking at Lightroom CC"

Adobe insists that LR Classic is not an end-of-life product and is getting full support and development resources, so there shouldn't be any reason to look at LR CC unless you really want the cloud features.

I have the same issue, LR 8.3.1, Mac 10.14.5.

I believe this has been fixed for me, but I've now moved to Lightroom CC for workflow purposes so... oh well. But thank you for fixing the bug!

A video showing your issue might be helpful as I am not seeing what you are describing. Would that be possible to obtain?  Please include your system specifications as well. 

It is exactly as the other video posted earlier on this platform by another user. Exactly the same issue on the Collections Panel and Keywords Panel, i.e. bouncing up and down. 

In addition - the Title, Caption and Headline fields do NOT show the full Text. This means for every image one is obligated to click to see what text it contains in that field which means a loss of time of 10X as the workflow is continuously being harassed






And, images in a Collection are showing up as not in a collection. 





ALSO - Populated published Smart Collections are showing up as empty as Lightroom does not read the EXACT parameters such as Keywords or Collections. 

Lightroom does not show Smart Collections as they are transient in nature. Only Static Collections will be shown in this flyout. 

This and the Full Text in fields issues would be feature requests. This is already requested on the forum. Please take the time to add your voice to that request.

You may want to consider making a feature request (Posting as an Idea) regarding Smart Collections in the Go to Collection - flyout as well.  

Feature or not, it is detrimental to a workflow for serious pro users!!! That is your problem. I am not an employee of Adobe. PUT THE REQUEST in yourself as you are the employee of Adobe TO FIX THIS ISSUE as it hampers workflow.

This issue is NOT fixed and causes serious loss of time hi-pro users like myself. It is a memory hog and takes 4-8X the amount of time to get thru what would take a minute!! FIX IT PLEASE!!!

Amyn, there's no need to be rude. A feature request from a user on this site, where other users can also vote on the requests they feel are highest priority, holds far more weight than a member of staff randomly suggesting something. Rikk is just trying to help you get the result you want.
