Upgraded to Photoshop CC 2015 to discover the healing brush no longer functions correctly.

To demonstrate this issue simply create a new document, fill it with black, create a blank layer above it, select the healing brush (not the spot healing brush) and set sample to 'current & below' no healing on the blank layer, you will see white outlines where you have healed.

Me too...

Can someone show me how to downgrade to 2014? I am subscribed to the Photography package. Currently on 2015 PS and LR. I wanna downgrade to 2014 PS.

Please.

CC 2015 - if you heal or clone on a blank layer, then apply a liquify to that layer, there is white fringing on the edges of the healed areas.

I can confirm that I do not have the white outline issue with 8 bit images, only 16 bit. Shame I always work with the latter.
Also if you isolate the transparent layer you have been healing on you will notice there are additional problems to the white outlines, such as hard edged artefacts as shown here (this is visible on both 8 bit and 16 bit images):

Adobe have acknowledged it, hence the 'acknowledged' banner at the top.
An Adobe employee has also stated they are looking into it (see above).

No updates since though.

Any update on this issue? I hope Adobe acknowledge and fix it asap!
