    Hi Everyone,

     

    Thanks for reporting this issue. It is still affecting some users at this time. Our Engineering team is aware and working on a fix. In the meantime, you can select a different view as a workaround. We will provide an update when we have more information.

     

    Thanks,

    Ben

Hi everyone, hope you’re all doing great! 

 

Can any of you send me a screenshot of what you’re seeing exactly on your end? 

 

I tested this myself and everything seems to be working normally, so I’d like to make sure I haven’t misunderstood something. 

 

Let me know when you’re ready.

Have the same issue here.   Multi photo selection constantly glitches.  Can only select items in one or 2 rows and move or delete them.  Anything more, or trying to select multiple images in a folder that are not sequential, results in the same glitch.  When glitching, the screen either jumps up a few rows, or all selected items are cleared.

    Thanks for keeping us updated on this, TN4!

     

    Are you still having this issue GloriMM and fossor or is it working for you as well?

        Hey Isabel C.7, can you give me some additional info on this, please? 

         

        Are you referring to the initial issue mentioned by the OP? If so, keep in mind that we're still looking into this, as Ben, our Community Manager mentioned above. 

         

        We'll definitely update the thread once we have additional info!
