P: Disappearing strokes in paths/shapes

I updated to the most recent version of Photoshop CC (2015.5). I noticed that the strokes in compound paths/shapes are suddenly disappearing. Sometimes I need to toggle different modes of stroke alignment in Stroke Options for the stroke to appear again.

If you open the file and it's missing strokes, does selecting View > 100% show the strokes correctly at 100% (actual pixels)?

The same thing is occurring for me after updating to Photoshop CC 2015.5. Really sucks because I use strokes for a lot of things within designing interfaces. They are a more user-friendly way to apply and change strokes to shape elements than a layer style is.

It seems like it is happening with clusters of shapes in a file, and not individual ones in a group on their own. See the below.

File before saving showing the strokes (I had to work some magic to get them all to reappear).


File after saving, closing, and reopening - Shape Strokes disappear again.

I have been having the same problem.

It seems to happen more if i have combined several shapes. The strokes will suddenly disappear.

Occasionally they will reappear if I duplicate the layer or re-apply the stroke but they will usually go again if I try to edit the shape.

This used to work fine before but it seems to have started after the last update.

Have also been experiencing this bug

Changing the stroke location; outside, inside, center will make it reappear. On document open, many strokes are missing.

I have same problem here.

For me, some shape strokes disappeared after reopen the document.
If I edit the shape the strokes reappeared.
But if I save and reopen the document, they disappeared again.

Here is a sample file with problem: download
