Layer effect is broken after miss click

Question

Hello everyone, One of layers have Bevel & Emboss effect to apply metallic effect to shapes. Everything works great, but I miss click and press something instead Ctrl+Alt+E and now Photoshop is broken. This effect looks broken now with sharp edges, and when I merge layers it become brigher. I attached how this effect looks previously and now. The pixeled edge is where the effect ends and another solid layer under it.

Color mode is the same 16bit and Srgb, no opacity, fill or blend mode changed. I tried to restart photoshop, open the document in older photoshop version, create a new document. And when I apply this effect it always looks ugly when zoom in and same after merging layers. Previously it looks perfect at laest after layer merge (I didn't zoom in earlier). It was smooth in visual transition between layers but now very pixeleted. Very strange problem because it save even I restart a Photoshop or create same effect in new document

So what bad buttons I pressed what brighten layers with effects when merge it and destroy the effect in pixels? Sorry for long description

The brightness when merging layers fixed with creating  a new document. And seems like the pixels are always destroyed with this effect. Let's close this topic
