BUG : Can't save file with custom shaped image layer

Hello,
I need to work with Image Layers (Image tool to place photos). I need other shapes than the default ones (wich are rectangle and ellipse).
So I created my shape, then converted the shape layer to an image layer.
Once here, I cannot save my document. I have tried with a default shape instead of my custom shape : it works, I can save the doc.
Is that a bug ?
To reproduce the problem : open the PSD file, convert the layer "part NNE" to an image layer, try to save the document.
I have try with 16bits document (idem). I have tried with another custom shape (idem).
Can anyone help ?

Hello, now I do understand -> "stroke and fill" stand for the shape itself, not for the layer...
But you're right, it works, too.
Many thanks.


Shape Layers can have a Fill and/or a Stroke as set in the Options Bar. 

Not sure why it should make a difference in this case but it apparently does …

I have completed some tests. 
After reinstalling V21.1.2, same problem is noticed.
After reinstalling V20.0.9 -> it works fine, my doc is saved! So the bug has been added through the V21 upgrade.

Try changing the Shape Layer to a Fill and no Stroke before converting to a Frame.

Hello, I don't understand your suggestion as only shape layers can be converted to Image layers, and here is the bug.

The Shape Layer in your file as a Stroke and no Fill. 

Make it the opposite.
