Clip canvas does nothing when any adjustment/live filter layers not masking to any layers

[KarlLegion]

If there are any live filter/adjustment layers not masking to any layers, the clip canvas command can't clip anything. If you move it back to mask any layer/group, then the clipping canvas works again. It's a bug since V1 the whole time a year ago.

While my recording doesn't show the dropdown menu, please check the history panel for what I have done.

Nice catch. There are at least 3 bugs when doing this:

1. New document
2. add rectangle in nice color
3. add bilateral blur filter (becomes nested)
4. Clip to canvas adds extra pixels (bug 1: radius is 0, noo need for extra pixel)
5. undo clip canvas
6. unnest blur layer
7. clip canvas (bug 2: does nothing, as you reported)
8. nest blur filter to child position
9. choose channels panel
10. invert alpha
11. choose move tool
12. bug 3: the filter layer has a size of >2x the canvas. The mask should be simply black (no size).

I had experienced similar and various other bugs regarding using adjustment/live filter layers > clip canvas combo. Sometimes it adds extra canvas when I clip.(likely due to the bug3 you pointed out), sometimes gives me a hairline of pixels around my transparent background (don't know what causes this nor the way to reproduce. Likely related to my non-integral canvas size. Only found out when using the exported image on other program.) And some other bugs I just don't know what to say... Even though I prefer to work my file non-destructively with live masks, sometimes I just rasterize them for stability. 😔

My Bilateral Blur defaults to 3px which adds a border but I'd expect that. If I set it to 0px, there's no border added when clipping to canvas.

You are right, missed that. Would be great if the remaining issues can be solved in similar time
