Custom Shapes in Photoshop cc 2021 - outline keeps being added on shapes

Hi - Does anyone know if there is a known bug for custom shapes in cc 2021?  I just realized all my files that I have been editing on cc 2021 - all the custom shapes have a stroke - 1 px outline in black.  I changed all the shapes back to just be a filled shape but every time i re-open the file, it reverts  and the shapes again have a 1px  stroke outline.  I've never had this propblem in previous versions - Is it something that I am doing wrong?  is there a way to have a default no stroke unless specified?

    Same problem here. Just noticed it in 2021 when placing an image inside a custom shape. The shape has a black outline around it that I can't seem to get it rid of.

    Never mind, I figured it out. I was so obsessed with thinking I was seeing a path outline that I missed the fact that Photoshop added a 1 px black stroke around the shape (which I didn't ask it to). Setting the stroke to None in the Options Bar removed it.

    Hi!

    I found it--here is a link to the page where you can submit a bug report: https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html

    Don't let the URL name fool you, it's used for both a wish list and bug report.

    Let us know how it goes?

      Hi,

      I have the same exact issue.

      A 1 px black stroke on every shape, unless the shape has a custom stroke already, each time I open any .psd file with CC 2021. The stroke itself isn't visible on screen but it's there in the attributes of every shape.
      I'm in the middle of the creation of a TV Graphics package for production it's quite annoying with the risk of error it brings.

      I know, I get how frustrating it is, I stepped down to the previous version because it would always save wrong with that 1 stroke black line around all my shapes - I've been trying to submit a bug report I just don't know how to

      Hi!

       

      Sorry to hear that you are having this issue. I don't believe it is anyhing you are doing wrong. Here is a link to known issues with the latest version: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/known-issues.html#ProgramErroropeningfiles

       

      If this persists, then I would suggest sending in a bug report (it follows the same procedure as a crash report): https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/submit-crash-reports.html

      Hi Michelle,

       

      I'm not quite sure how to submit the bug report like the crash report because if I open the package where crash reports are stored it would probably give the details of a crash and not my issue... I really want to have this issue addressed - is there another way to report this bug?  thanks
