[AP] Issue adding a live gaussian blur adj. layer as a child to a mask layer

[HVDB Photography]

Two days ago I still was able to add a live Gaussian blur as a child to a layer mask (see attachment).
Since yesterday it's added on top of the layer stack.
I tested it with the 1.7.0.367 release, with the 1.7.0.380 update,
and with the beta 1.7.1.385.
Very strange !!

Similar behaviour here with various things but I haven't been able to say for certain what will cause this to happen. It is an occasional thing and I just assume I have done something different in the selecting or applying of the filter or adjustment. Annoying that I can't duplicate it on demand.

For what very little it is worth, I have noticed several things in the 1.7.0 retail updates like that -- they work the way I expect them too some of the time & others not, but I have not yet used the new versions enough to be sure that I really understand how they should work.

Hi @HVDB Photography I've not been able to replicate this.  I've set the Assistant setting to add the Adjustment as a child layer and that's what i get on my Windows PC and also Mac.

If you spot anything that seems to be the cause please do update here or if you could share a .afphoto file where when you add an Adjustment and it goes to the top of the layers, i'll see if the same happens with your file on my PC

I'am not at my PC at the moment. I'll do video later on ...

Hold off on the video @HVDB Photography, i missed the bit about the Mask in your 1st post 

Even with the mask selected, the adjustment goes to the top.  I'm not 100% sure on the behaviour in 1.6 but will look into this
