P: Rectangle appears on images after editing in Photoshop and returning to Lightroom Classic

Whenever I export from Lightroom Classic and do some editing in Photoshop and return to Lightroom Classic on saving, there is always a rectangle at a different light level than the rest of the image.  This is corruption, I don't see this rectangle at all in Photoshop and if I reopen the file in photoshop it is not there, just in Lightroom.

It is sooooooooo annoying.

You can see it in this attached image, it happens almost every time I edit in Photoshop and return to Lightroom.  I have more examples.

Yes, it is still there even after export, this is why this is so bad, I can't do any work.

Can you provide a copy of the file? 

If you open the file in Photoshop, go to Preferences > Performance... and click "legacy compositing" and resave the file, does it appear correctly in Lightroom?

If you Export to a JPG and then view that JPEG file in Mac Preview is it still there?

If you disable GPU in Preferences > Performance and restart Lightroom do you still see the artifact?
