P: Action does not record gradient fill layer angle

Actions do not record the angle of a gradient in a gradient fill layer. So stuck with horizontal gradients in my action and have to make clumsy workarounds...

* I have a gradient fill layer with a horizontal gradient in it.
* I record an action where I change the angle fro 90 to 0 degrees (to make it vertical).
* The action step records everything about my angle, except the angle... So when playing back the action the gradient fill remains horizontal.

Tested on Ps CC2018.

Thanks for confirming what we were seeing. Engineering is looking into it.

I didn't test multiple angles, figured Adobe would do the further testing. 😉 

Ran a quick new test now, and indeed, only the angle 0 does not record. If I choose some other angle it records. Clearly a bug:

Hi Jonas, can you confirm that 0 is the only angle that doesn't record for you?

A gradient fill layer. Not a layer style.

Is it shape graident fill or layer style gradient?
