Drop shadow rotating bug (CC 2019)

Hey,

it seems that there's a bug in Adobe Photoshop CC 2019 with rotating layers that have drop shadows on them. In the example below, I created a square with a drop shadow on it. After I rasterzied the layer, I rotated it and a weird stroke was showing up.

(I already enabled Legacy Compositing to fix the other common drop shadow bug)

Is there any solution for this?

Greetings

    Try just Rasterize the Layer, rotate, then Rasterize the layer style or not if you want to keep the style editable.

    It first happened when I merged a group of different layers, so there is no option in this case to rasterize anything to help it I guess.

    If that's a bug it's been in photoshop at least since photoshop 6 (2001) which i tested on an Mac OS 9 machine.

    The best advice i know to give is do alll you rotating ,scaling, etc before rasterizing or flattening layers.

      I wondered if anti aliasing in the layer style would make a difference, but if anything, it made it worse.  So no solution, but a confirmation that I can duplicate it.

        Hi

        You need to go into preferences > performance and enable legacy compositing and restart PS to fix it

        Hey,

        as I mentioned above, I already did this and it didn't help at all.
