Partial layer appears after altering mask in Camera raw

A partial layer appears in my Photoshop image after modifying a smart object image in camera raw following the addition of a mask layer.  The new partial layer appears when I return from camera raw to Photoshop. This problem just started a few days ago.  I have tried numerous techniques like double clicking on the camera raw icon, but the problem persists.  Your solution to this problem is greatly appreciated.

    Instead of opening it Camera RAW, double click the thumbnail to open the Smart Object in a new window.  That should give you the option of removing any edits.  Or just unclick Camera RAW under the layer to remove its effect.

    When you have the entire layer, copy it (Ctrl J) do further edits on the copy so that you have a fall back position if things go pear shaped again.

    We might need a screenshot so we can better understand your issue. What is a partial layer?
