P: (Win/macOS) PS 25.11 Mixer brush swatch in brush options is no longer transparent

I updated to PS version 25.11 today.  When I now use the mixer brush, the normally transparent swatch in the options bar is no longer transparent, even when the brush is set to clean.  It shows colors and patterns from the image which it never did before.  I uses the mixer brush to mix paint already on the canvas and not adding color during mixer brush use.  This is a new thing.  The brush appears to be working correctly but not sure why the box is showing color and pixels.  I am on an iMac 2019 running Sonoma 14.5.

When I open PS 2023, the problem does not occur.

Where/when can we access the "fix"? referenced in mbhola's post (adobe employee) below?

Hello, I am experiencing a bug with the mixer brush tool after upgrading to the latest version of photoshop (25.12.0). I cannot select "Clean brush" in the dropdown menu, and the graphic that appears in the box is glitched out. I need this tool for retouching work, and it worked perfectly fine up until the moment I updated the app. 2 screenshots are attached showing the box with the glitched out graphics. No matter what I do I cannot select "clean brush" from that menu

Completely agree with all the comments posted and would like to add to the plea: PLEASE fix this problem soon Adobe! Personally, I shall not update until I am absolutely sure that the mixer brushes work properly again. Thank you.

I ran into this issue today. Downgrading to 25.9.1 is my workaround for now. This seems to be the same issue as the one reported here, which is the thread I found first: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/mixer-brush-is-not-useable-with-latest-updates/idc-p/14857203

that's working exactly as expected. The mixer brush doesn't sample colors.

Hi guys. I have an issue with mixt-brush. This tool do not want to work properly. When I am choosing just brush it works perfect with eydropper. But if I choose mixt-brush eydropper is inactive. The photoshop automatically choose just Stamp and that's all. Please see the video uploaded. Do you have any 💡 ideas? Please help...:(

thank you in advance
