Light adjustment layers can fail to render in a linked PSD’s Layer Comp until the Light layer is toggled and the comp is resaved

The new Light adjustment layer does not always render correctly in a linked PSD when Layer Comps are being used.

I have a PSD placed as a Linked Smart Object inside a master Photoshop document. The linked PSD contains a Light adjustment layer using Exposure and Shadows.

The Light adjustment looks correct when I open the linked PSD itself. When I save that PSD, the master document correctly detects the change and refreshes the Linked Smart Object. Other changes from the linked PSD update correctly, but the Light adjustment does not appear.

I can force it to update with this workaround:

1. Turn the Light layer off.

2. Update the Layer Comp.

3. Save the linked PSD.

4. Turn the Light layer back on.

5. Update the Layer Comp again.

6. Save again.

After doing this, the Light adjustment appears correctly in the master document.

Expected behavior: the Light adjustment should render correctly in the master document whenever the linked PSD and its Layer Comp are updated and saved.
