The photo selected in the grid is no longer synced with the photo selected in the grid and loupe view. If I click on a photo in the grid the filmstrip selection does not change and if I click on a photo in the filmstrip the grid selection does not change. This happened to me once before but I do not remember how I fixed it and I have been unable to find a solution in Lightroom help or Google.
Resetting preferences is indeed annoyingly inconvenient. But unless someone else has a better suggestion, that may be the only workaround (not guaranteed). LR has a nasty habit of soiling its preferences. (Also, reinstalling LR doesn't reset the preferences.)
You can also report a bug in the official Adobe feedback forum: Photoshop Lightroom | Photoshop Family Customer Community . (Adobe product developers don't participate in this forum, which is primarily user-to-user.) While reporting bugs

Two first troubleshooting steps:
1. Reboot your computer.
2. Reset LR's preferences: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/articles-page/how-do-i-reset-lightrooms-preferences/ . Sprinkling that magic fairy dust often fixes things when the user interface goes wonky.

Rebooting does not help. This is a "feature" not a bug. Resetting the preferences probably would work but it seems to me that is a little like digging a hole with a 1000 lb. bomb. You do get a hole but you likely have a lot more work to do.
