P: Gen Remove now changes elements outside the painted mask

Yeah I wish I knew that before updating....It's so much worse now..:(

@tessa_0244: "This is a major issue that has been ongoing for months now. I hope it will be fixed in the next update!"

Adobe employee Sameer K recently wrote above, "The team has identified the issue, but the fix wasn't included in the Lightroom Classic v15 release. It'll arrive soon, as this issue goes beyond Lightroom Classic and also requires broader fixes in Camera Raw."

With the newest update it seems to have become even worse - not only changing outside the painted area but making very weird looking elements instead that do not blend in or look realistic at all. This is a major issue that has been ongoing for months now. I hope it will be fixed in the next update!

@Sameer K Hi, is there any time estimate on when it'll be fixed??

So why you encouraged us to update Lightroom with the broken version?! 

@Sameer K 

That’s great news — I’m really glad to hear that a fix is on the way.

When a major problem with an important tool in Lightroom is reported by several users, it’s essential not only to communicate that it’s being investigated, but also to let users know as soon as possible once it has been acknowledged as an issue that will be fixed. Doing so helps your customers feel confident and reassured, and makes them wait for the solution with much more patience. Good communication is very important, and I believe there’s still room for improvement in this regard — especially when it takes more than two months before users are informed that the issue has been recognized.

Just updated. The performance is atrocious. Slowly starting to think this is ragebait. Can't believe I'm paying for this 

It's so disappointing to see that this major issue still hasn’t been fixed in Lightroom 15.0. It has actually become even worse — and on top of that, the performance is now extremely slow.

LR 15.0 will probably be released in the next few days during Adobe Max. (I have no inside information.)

November is just around the corner and we still have no update. This thread was started in August!!!

In fact, I just updated Lightroom on my phone, hoping it would solve the issue but it made matters worse. 
I am slowly losing my patience.

Why are only experts in this thread who have no idea what on earth is going on at Adobe? What type of customer support is this? It's not like every single one of us is paying top dollar for this application...
