P: Color picker with solid color adjustment layer

Im trying to get a live preview of the color im choosing on the canvas and not just in the color picker box. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. I can't tell if its canvas/document size, layer count + smart filters, zoom level, etc. Nothing is consistent in what I think could be the problem. Mainly using the live canvas preview feature when this color fill layer is set to Hard Mix with a Black and White adjustment layer on top. The video attatched has 2 files open, an already in-progress design file an a fresh file. The live preview works inside the IP file but not the newly created one, which you would think would be the other way around. Any help on how to fix this? Running PS 26.1.0 on a 2024 Macbook Pro Apple M4 Pro.
