Sync filmstrip selection with grid selection

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.

While reporting bugs is always a good thing to do from a long-term community perspective, Adobe is unfortunately unlikely to take any action on a bug unless they can immediately reproduce it or there are many users affected.

This certainly is not a feature. But are you using a dual monitor setup?

Make a copy of the Preferences file before you reset. If it doesn't help then just replace the Preferences file you reset with the one you mad a copy of, IE the original before the reset.
