I updated to 9.3 this morning. Healing aspect of spot removal tool now has bleeding in many previously edited pictures which did not previously have bleeding -- what was before a clean background with spots removed now has ugly bleeding of color, and I can't use the healing tool properly in new edits either -- bleeds result.   What can I do to fix this -- I am pretty concerned, this has affected many photos.  Thanks.

@4772963 Blackett: Engineering is asking for the original raw file with edits (DNG or raw+xmp) for the example you gave me. Can you provide this?

@168669 DeMaria "Do we know if Adobe is working on this?" 

If you look at the top of any thread in this forum you will see a status. This thread is marked as "Acknowledged" meaning it has been repeated by Adobe staff and had a bug filed for a fix in an upcoming version. Note: this fix will be coming from ACR as it is a bug in the underlying engine and affects Camera Raw, Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Ecosystem. 

So, it is possible to tell on any post here what its status is at the current time.  Also see: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/getting-the-most-from-this-forum-reporting-bugs

Hey Adobe, you broke Lightroom, we're all still paying for it, maybe fix it?

Bill, this has nothing to do with Windows or display settings. It is a stuffup by the software development team and they need to fix it.

I reported this issue for Lr Classic 4-5 months ago (thread link below)... not sure what version we were on then (I keep it updated and current), but it was definitely happening back then, albeit seemingly intermittent at that time. The issue *seems* to be happening even more consistently now. 

It's really a large detriment to my editing; I use spot healing along the edge of images constantly to clean them up!  Do we know if Adobe is working on this?  Thank you!

Actually, I have those photos synced with the adobe cloud and I noticed the problem on my LR Mobile first, as I was checking if model was doing any new picks/comments - I believe there was also LR Mobile update simultaneously. When I checked on desktop LR (after 9.3 update) the problem appeared, I tried to re-edit and sadly confirmed above behavior...

Konrad, if on Windows, ensure that the display settings are set to the defaults for resolution and scaling. Choosing other settings is the only time I've seen this problem on Windows 10.

Just checked some Fuji S2 Pro (jpeg) images with 48 spots removed with 9.2, no issues. Removed a couple additional spots with 9.3.
Also no issues.

D300S & D200 DNG's edited prior to 9.3, also no problems. D200 NEF, fine. Fuji X-T3 RAF OK too. Olympus EM1 ORF files display correctly too.

Same here: it acts as there would be some pixels outside of image border - it "destroyed" my edits I did in pre-9.3 version - it was "plain white" instead of a strange gradient:

I'm on 10.15.4. This has to be a recent change in Lr software independent from OS.

I immediately noticed that images I had edited years ago are being affected when I pull them up for a new export because the software is re-rendering them from the XMP.
