P: Mixer brush preset: saved but if I adjust the size of the brush up or down the texture disappears

The Mixer brush scaling seems to be a bit buggy with saved brushes.  Reproducible in V19 and V20.  

With the Mixer brush, if I sample a texture and then paint, the texture scales up and down with the brush size when adjusted (man, would rotation be sweet too).  However, if I save that brush (either as a Tool Preset or a Brush Preset) when I load the brush again the texture is saved, but if I adjust the size of the brush up or down the texture disappears. It will revert to the last sampled texture/colour.  This only happens with saved Mixer Brushes, but it does make them a lot less useful.  Bug?

Hey Chad

I have, and I actually just picked up brand new Macbook Pro. Latest OS and version of Photoshop. When I loaded the brushes and tool presets from my other machine I get the same issue. I'll post a .tpl for you in a sec.

Hi Brett, 
Have you updated to 10.14.1?  If not, can you and see if it still happens?  Also, would mind sharing your .tpl with us to see if we can repro the problem?  I haven't been able to reproduce the issue.
Thanks,
Chad

Hi Hannah - thanks for your reply.

I can reproduce it in V20 and V19 on my system. It is also an iMac and OS 10.14. It happens when using the magic mouse or using my Intuos Pro stylus. I recorded a screen capture of the issue:

Hi Brett,

Thanks for the report. I'm not seeing that behavior on Photoshop 20.0.1 on Mac OS 10.14.1 using an iMac with a magic mouse. On my setup the brush scaled after a relaunch of Ps.

What OS are you using and on what equipment?

I'm giving this advice to all who will listen. Few have my experience in photoshop. Go back to 2018. Save yourself the headache. The root problem won't be fixed for at least a year. It has to do with photoshop's rendering engine... and poor redesign. Something similar happened when Photoshop became CS, and then again when it became the cloud. This change is big, and will have a long live beta run. Users have become free beta testers on what looks to be a long shake out.
