P: Cropping a Smart Layer causes Pixel Column Repeating

Thanks for your reply Jeffrey. I've been using Photoshop for over 10 years now, so I'm more than happy to help any way I can.

Thanks. I'll have someone investigate. Is it alright if an engineer or quality engineer contacts you directly if they have any questions?

So it seems that the pixel repeating happen when shrinking the smart layer down to the size of the object. I've noticed Photoshop leaves space around the object by default when turning it into a Smart Layer. When you go in and try to optimize, it repeats the pixels, but when you crop up, meaning making the destination Smart Layer larger, it actually cuts off a pixel column.

I believe I've only seen this problem affect the images horizontally.
Not a huge deal, you can always drag the destination back to the master file, but it can become a problem when editing a Smart Layer that is instanced multiple times in the master.

Can you post the PSD that exhibits this behavior?
