Content aware fill produces white pixels

Sometimes I use Content Aware Fill to add some additional room to my photographs (such as more blue sky if I feel the image needs it). Occasionally, I will end up white pixels in the area that I filled. Once this happens you can't get rid of them - very frustrating. I find using Content Aware Fill on my computer will either work great or I get white pixels for no rhyme or reason as I always do it the same way. I've included a photo - I've tried to add a little bit to the top of the photo and end up with white pixels. These can extend for the entire filled area or for just a portion. Any ideas??

Did you try to just grab a chuck of the background but be sure not to grab any of the flowers or white, go edit/transform/scale and hold the shift key, then stretch the background?

Ok, the first thing I do is extend the canvas. Then I make a selection based on that white area. After that I go to Edit-Fill and basicaly follow the default settings and use Content Aware Fill from the drop down menu. This works amazing well. But then you try it again the next day and white pixels pop up in the area that you filled. Couple days later you try the same thing, bam!, it works perfectly.

I've tried to use Edit-Content Aware Fill and end up with the same issues. It makes no sense how it could work for a few days and then not work for a few days. I have the instructions written down so that I do it the same way every time but, honestly, it's so simple that you can't really make a mistake.

How are you applying the content aware fill: by clicking on the content aware fill when cropping or using a selection, after you crop?

I increase the canvas size then select that area. I then go to either Edit-Fill and use Content Aware Fill or I go to Edit-Content Aware Fill. When it is working it works great, when it's not working I get pixels. Seems like it quits working for a few days then comes back. Can't figure anything out why.....

So far, I have been able to reproduce it. I did get some different results using the content aware fill via the crop tool. If this happens with one photo, does redoing the fill produce the same results?
