Paste object into opacity mask is not working

[ori manor]

Hi,

Strange problem: before the last update, in order to create an opacity mask, I used to create the masking shape outside of the mask, and than:

1. cutting the object,

2. Double clicking the opacity mask

3. Disable the "Clip" checkbook

4. Pasting the object in place

5. Applying Black fill

and this worked like charm.And I also could copy/paste objects between different masks.

Since the last update, this is not working, and when I paste the object into the opacity mask, it just doesn't affect the mask (nothing happens) even though it shows as having black fill   

is this a bug, or am I missing something?

(I'm using the cc 2019 on Windows 10)

Does it work when you just don't cut the masking object, but instead: select the green thing ans its mask and then click the button "Make mask" and then set whatever settings you need?

If you don't see an effect of that, please do also try and View > Preview on CPU

If I'm doing what you described than it works OK.

Just copy/paste doesn't work

Moreover, after I paste the object into the opacity mask (and get no results), once I exit the mask, and enter it again, the object is not there anymore.

When I untick the "Clip" checkbox your procedure works for me.

I know... I did it for years

But since the cc2019 update, it doesn't work anymore, at least on my computer.

It works ok for me

only difference  is when I click to edit mask

yours says ''layer 1 /opacity mask''

This is weird:

The problem I had is on my laptop.

I just tried the same on my desktop PC and everything is fine.

I just can't figure out what is the difference...

You made me think, and I checked it out and found the problem:

It turns out that in the Layers Panel, the "Paste Remembers Layers" option was on:

Once I disabled it, everything was back to normal.

Thanks
