Incorrect cropping of "Define Pattern" in 32-bit mode in some cases.

Reproduce steps:

- Create a new 32-bit image with size 32x32px.
- Fill it white.
- Select the right-most pixel column (x = 31, y = 0..31) and the botto-most row (y = 31, x = 0..31) and fill them black.
- Select everything (32x32) with the selection tools.
- Edit > Define Pattern:

Expected: I see a 32x32 pattern in the preview.

Actual: I see a cropped 1x32px pattern which isn't what I selected.

And I still can't reproduce that. In 8 bit it still works.

You said the same to me two days ago in the Photoshop forum where I post every day, so I twice provided you a link to a post with a reproducable example of a pattern definition error in 8-bit grayscale mode. Third time lucky, maybe: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5050124

I can't get it to malfunction in 8 bit - only 16 and 32 bit (the auto repeat detection code was not correctly modified for anything greater than 8 bit/channel).

Actually, it's been there since 16 bit support for patterns was added.

Dan, that's correct. Looks like its been there since 32-bit layer support went in. Thanks for the workaround suggestion.

Just so everyone knows, this issue has been there for years, not just in the latest versions of photoshop.

(i was reading an old photoshop book from the library dated 1998 and that was mentioned as a problem in the grayscale mode)

The way around it as explained in above book is to make the document bigger than the pattern and then just select the area to define as the pattern.

Is this problem going to be acknowledged by Adobe, at least?

Pattern definition also malfunctions in 8-bit grayscale mode, by the way.

What happened. It's been almost a month.

Adobe stopped processing bugs from this forum?
