P: Spot removal removing brush stroke

I am not able to duplicate this on either Mac or Windows. Based on this, I would recommend resetting your preferences

Reset Procedure:

1. Close Lightroom.

2. Hold down [Alt/Opt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom.

3. Overwrite the Preferences when prompted by the dialog.

4. Close Lightroom.

5. Restart Lightroom.

Here is another video of the glitch I am experiencing with more dramatic colors to show the spot removal is effecting the brush stroke edit as well. 

So I can confirm it actually removes the effect of the brush. That one was a texture softening effect and once the spot removal was applied I noticed the softening was removed as well. I didn't want to change it because I am not sure if the glitch was a code read error due to the circumstances I applied but it had the same result on multiple photos in that collection. I removed some grass in another photo after applying the brush stroke and noticed it did the same effect where it removed the brush stroke I added. I will attempt to replicate it for you. 

Derek,

I stepped through your video frame-by-frame and was particularly interested in the 20-24 second area of the video.  I noticed that though the brush overlay (green) does change after application of the spot heal but that it doesn't appear that the actual effect are is changed - only the overlay. 

Can you confirm this?

Does it happen on all images or just this image? Can you replicate this with a much more obvious adjustment so we can confirm whether this is an overlay artifact or an actual effect problem?

The spot removal is effecting other brush strokes. It is literally removing parts of the stroke. If you watch it a bit closely you'll see the highlighted areas where I selected to edit with the stroke were removed after I applied the spot removal. It's whacky. Hopeful this gets patched soon cause it's a pretty big glitch.

On Windows, it does exactly what I'd expect. 

• took a freckled area of skin
• darkened it with the brush 
• used spot removal to remove both dark and light spots 
• no effect on the brushed area either under the spot removal or in the adjoining area
• same result with
• both Clone and Heal

Watched the video and couldn't see what you are trying to illustrate. Suggest that you focus on just one area with a single brush stroke and a single spot removal. You move around to fast and show too many areas. Just focus on one. Shot before and after with the brush then remove one spot and show that result. 

Of course, I hope it helps

that's exactly what is happening but on a larger scale. I just posted a video of it. 

sure hope this shows it

If it just removed the brush effect under the spot, that's what I'd expect. If larger than the spot then that would not be expected.
