photos keywords not marked on keyword pane in manOS 26.0.

Before I updated to macOS26, the keyword window showed which keyword was set for selected images. Now I have to activate the keyword window by clicking in it to see the set keywords. If the keyword window is just displayed, no keywords are marked. This feel like a bug?

Mac mini, macOS 26.0

Okay. I usually prefer a dark interface. I tried switching to light. Then I could make out which keywords were highlighted. With a dark interface, the contrast of the highlight is so weak that I didn't see it at first. Now when I have spotted it, I can destinguich a highlight but it's hard to read.

Try launching your Photos library with the Option+Command keys held down and repair/rebuild the library. Then check the keyword and to see if the photos with keywords are indicated. Also check the Info pane to see if the keywords are include.


Also in the future can you make the screenshot images larger (not more screenshot but more pixels in each). I am unable to see much of anything in them.
