P: Preview of clone stamp rotation is not correct

Hard to explain:
Photoshop 20.0.1. Activate the clone stamp and the clone source panel. If you like to have a preview of the rotation of the stamp highlight the "0" in the text-area for rotation in the panel. Then bring your stamp to the area you want to work and change the rotation-value with the arrow keys. Then you will see the preview of the stamp is wrong. The right preview would be to rotate the center of the alt-click-area, but the preview in 2020 takes it from where your stamp is. So you have no preview of the actual rotation and it is not possible anymore to work with this "old" feature.

Hello,
In 21.1, the clone source rotation works but I still have an issue with the shortcuts : can't use the rotation nor the scaling shortcuts.

Is anyone also having trouble with the shortcuts?
Thanks

Create a 100x100px document.
Draw something there (a few lines).

Create a second document - 500x500px.

As a stamp source, select the zone in the first document (which is 100x100).

In the second document (which is 500x500), try to transfer something with a stamp in the right-bottom part.


UPD.
The word "rotation" in that topic on the forum was not at all

What was described in the community forum you linked to was a rotation issue with the clone tool. Please log a bug with the exact steps to reproduce your issue along with a screen grab and I can have engineering take a look.

The problem that I described and WHY SOMETHING you combined with this topic in 21.1 is not solved.
