Version of the app: Photoshop v 25.12.3; v 26.7
Platform and OS version: Windows 11 Pro, 24H2
Basic steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a multicolor area on the canvas or open an image.
2. Select the Mixer Brush Tool and Alt + click to sample the swatch.
3. Save a Brush Preset with “Include Color” checked.
4. Close and restart Photoshop.
5. Select the saved brush preset.
6. Change brush size using [ ] keys, the RMB menu or the Brush Settings panel.
Expected Result:
The brush should retain the saved multicolor swatch even after resizing, as indicated by the preset preview.
Actual Result:
The brush replaces the multicolor swatch with a solid color (or transparent) after resizing.
This only occurs after restarting Photoshop — resizing works correctly before that.
