Q: Flickr and other choices disappear from Share Menu

I'm not sure if I noticed this behavior with Yosemite, but when using Photos under El Capitan (10.11.5), Flickr and other sites will disappear from the Sharing Menu intermittently.

 

It seems to be partially dependent on the number of items selected.   Seems to always work if I select less than 10 items (but not always), but as the number increases the probability that the choices will disappear increases.  This seems really bizarre.  When I select more, it takes me to the Settings application.   What I select seems to affect this, and certain photos seem "poisonous".   I can find no rhyme or reason to the behavior, however.

 

I found this discussion:

If Share options or Markup is missing after upgrading to OS X Yosemite or El Capitan - Apple Support

 

I wasn't expecting this to work, because it wasn't the same problem.  No matter, it didn't improve the situation.

 

My Photos version info:

Version 1.5 (370.42.0)

Digital Camera RAW 6.20 (856)

Digital Camera RAW Support 6200 (233)

 

Any suggestions?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2008), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

    There seems to be an undocumented limit to the number of photos you can upload at once. For me, Facebook will vanish from the Share menu when I select more than 30 Photos, and Flickr will vanish as well, if I select more than 50 photos.
