P: Problem changing canvas size inside the smart object ruins the smart object

I keep all my objects as a smart objects in PSD files, and when I need to change something, I go inside smart object and make changes. After latest update to 21.1.1 I noticed that if I go inside smart object, remove mask and "Revel All" to have original image without mask, it changes the size of canvas and smart object image becomes bigger in canvas size, after saving smart object in my original image brake the aspect ratio, looks like instead of changing canvas size of smart object it fit the new image inside same size. I hope I explained clearly.

I attach an image to show what I mean:

    Hi,
    I've posted PSD image below, you can try to "reveal all" opened smart object with disabled mask, to reveal whole image, and save it and at this point smart object on original image becomes distorted

    Hi David,
    Yes, the smart object is rotated slightly to make a person look straight, but anyway it should not make this smart object loose aspect ratio after updating canvas size. In CC2019 version everything works fine. I'll attach this image in the reply below
    Thanks

    Hmm. I've tried every variation i can think of and i'm not seeing this issue. Can you list all the steps you take in the creation of the smart object? 
    In your images, it looks like one of the layers was rotated at some point...

    Howdy Oleksandr,
    Are you sure that you didn't somehow rotate your underlying object?  In your screenshot it looks like it's been slightly rotate and this caused some sort of distortion.  Do you have a sample file I could play with? 

    Thanks,David
