I went back to LR 4.3 and can not take the chance of running LR 4.4. I have not seen any fixes so my assumption is that if I switched back to 4.4 I would have the same problem. I will also say that I believe that switching to 4.4 corrupted one of my plugins and I have to use an older version of that plugin.
I will wait for LR 5 to come out and even then I will try it on another computer first.
I believe there is still a problem.
