The work around- I have to create a new Group of my layer then add a layer mask and set Gradient Mode to Normal in order to for this to work. This bug is new since I updated PS to 27.3.0

      It works properly in Classic mode, but not the “new” mode. Then some funky stuff happens that has no relation to the actual tones set in the gradient. Yes, clearly a bug.
