Adjustment layer bug with scaled content

Hi all - I've found a bug with adjustment layers, resulting in pixelated output as below:

Easy steps to reproduce: Place an image into a layer, scale it to anything but 100%. Create an adjustment layer above, set to Luminosity blend mode, and you'll see the pixelation. To make it smooth again either set blend method to something else or remove scaling. Obviously Luminosity adjustment layers are kinda important in broadcast... so this is a pretty major problem. This is with CC 2018.

did you scale it up or down ? Just curious.

As mentioned in the original post - any scaling causes the problem, up or down.

An update - I have since discovered this is not caused by the Adjustment Layer itself, but a problem with the Blend Mode. If you change scaling on any layer and change its blend mode to Luminosity these artifacts will appear.

So basically no one is using Premiere to output TV commercials? That's what this bug implies so I would've thought the post would generate prompt feedback from Adobe. Or is Premiere just a kids toy & people in broadcast use FCP or Resolve?

Adobe has no way to submit bug reports in-app or on forum. Their bug report links to an "ideas" page which I'm sure is well ignored. This is just immoral for companies on a subscription service. Autodesk for example have tiered in-app logging and support engineers on forum who review every post.

Not sure where to go from here except maybe contact a prominent youtuber who might have some sway.

when you choose font does it have parameters, like " smooth, sharp " ) etc.

I usually use sharp and do titles and text in photoshop and use those layers in PPro. Rolling stuff, titles, everything.

Maybe check parameters as you do the text ? I only have old version, so just wondering.

this place is not some official "customer service" thing.. it's just nutty people who like to use adobe products, and can sometimes help each other.

Nothing to do with type - it happens with any scaled image (the example was just type in an image). So basically you can't use scaling if you plan to output to TV.

Yeah that was my point about Adobe, they don't have any form of official customer service.
