Adjustment different behaviour

[Daniel Mikolajcak 0]

Hello,
why does masked adjustment layer yields different result depending on whether mask is applied directly (correct result) or on the group that adjustment is nested inside. Could it be because I work in 32 bit mode?

One of many ancient bugs which appear to be permanent "features".

Hi Anon,
weird thing is mine does not get fixed if I change blending mode to normal.

Changing the blend mode from Passthrough to Normal is not a solution. It happened to work for the particular example in that linked thread, where a Pixel object was the member of the group, but it won't help in general.

Do you think it is related to the bit depth?
I don't get this artefacts in 8 bit workflow.

Are you sure about that? The problem happens in 8, 16 and 32 bpc documents, so I don't understand why bit depth would be making a difference for you.

This bug was reported, logged and incorrectly closed as fixed a while ago. I have reopened it and updated it with a new file to display the issue.

That could explain the persistence of many ancient bugs. So, do we need to re-report every bug we notice and hope someone at Serif will investigate whether the bug has been mistakenly closed as fixed?

No. This is not a common occurance. 

I honestly do not think this is something you need to concern yourself with. Most, if not all ancient bugs just simply have not been addressed. I would argue this was a one-off.

Maybe, when they are old enough, they will become collector's items! 🤣
