Yes, I've been using the same workflow for "ever".  Since before Lightroom was a subscription product.  I know that a lot of unhappiness has been expressed on the net about Catalina, but I've personally experienced no obvious problems, except perhaps this one.  Even so, I'm afraid that I didn't note when this problem started, so I can't say whether it was before, after, or coincident with the Catalina upgrade.
