Photo 2.1.1 group mask doesn't produce good results with adjustment layers

[Alex_M]

Hi. I've got a group with an adjustment layer inside it. I also have a mask with soft edges applied to the group. This results in an ugly mask with strange green and dark red colors along the soft edges. If I move the mask from the group to the Curves layer inside the group, the masked edges look correct. Please check the document attached and the screenshot below. How can I prevent this? Or is this a bug?

Ancient bug. I have abandoned hope of it ever being fixed.

 

(A workaround for masking a Group of Filters/Adjustments is to make the mask be the lowest object inside the group.

If the Group contains a mixture of Filter/Adjustments and other types of object, the workarounds become more complicated.)
