Crop with Generative Expand broken after 27.10 update

After upgrading to 27.10 the crop with Generative Expand co longer works. If I select a crop and go beyond the image, even tough I have Generative Expand selected on the toolabar the new area is rendered transparent.  If I then subsequently just select the area ans use Generative Fill, that works - but I shouldnt have to !!!  Can we expact a fix anytime soon ??? 

I’ put a little pic below - I would post a little video but not sure how to upload it to here



BTW can we please have the ‘check mark’ and  the ‘discard’ icons back on the crop toolbar - its a right pain putting down the mouse/stylus and having to press ENTER or ESC when before we could just do s imple click to confirm or discard.

    I’ve found the issue.  If I just select a cropping ratio then the Generative Expand Fails.
    If I specify a DPI then it works. Not sure if this is - ‘by design’ or a bug. I suspect its a bug as I would have thought it it wasn’t designed to work, then a sutable error message/dialog box would appear explaining the issue.

    Hi ​@brianp49895668 

     

    Apologies for this experience and the delay in response. Could you please check and confirm whether you see the same behavior in Photoshop 27.11?

    If the issue persists, could you please share a short screen recording showing the workflow and the issue? This will help us better understand the behavior and investigate further.

    Thanks, Srishti Bali | Community & Engagement Strategist, Digital Imaging | Adobe

    Hi ​@brianp49895668, Generative Expand is working as expected for me (Windows 11 Pro; Photoshop 27.10.0 Release), albeit with a single-layer RGB JPG file. You can upload a screen recording video by clicking on the paperclip icon in the tray below the chat window, as I did here to share mine.

    I think this link to my Youtube video shows the problem
