Spot Removal tool malfunctioning

[I am using Lightroom Classic CC 7.1]

The Spot Removal tool is usually pretty clutch. One one particular photo I am working on tonight, the tool is not working but ONLY on one particular spot (Photo 1).

I did a random spot removal on another area of the photo and it works fine (Photo 2).

I have never seen this issue in all my years in Lightroom and I have no clue what is going on. This tool always works awesome, even on bigger spots. Any thoughts?...

Thanks.

Hi!

I think this just happend to me as well...I had two radial spots on all my photos...I finally reset the photos (had to do each one individually for some reason).  I had a filter applied to them all upon import (which I always do), but I can't figure out how these two spots were copied onto each photo?  Could you explain how this happened?

 

Thanks!

I've never seen such a issue before.

Do you have tried the same after you have restart Lightroom and/or the whole computer?

Do you have tried to deactivte the GPU support?

Do you have tried t ouse the "Heal" option instread of "Clone"?
