P: Incorrect bahavior of Warp Transformation of Smart Object when distorted past a certain degree

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

I believe there is a bug within the Photoshop CS6 Warp Transformation when working with Smart Objects.
In trying to warp a smart object to conform to an upward facing, slightly curved surface, the warp control handles/points respond incorrectly in reverse; moving one on the lower left outwards warps the image outwards on the upper right. All control point movements result in this backwards behavior.

It is a strange bug. 
And I had not known the work-around, so thanks for sharing! 

And to needlessly mention a pet peeve of mine:
The Illustrator team has not released a fix for the Scripts-in-Actions bug in the more than a decade it has been with the application.
Supposedly it will be fixed with the next release, but still, it seems to show that Adobe’s bug-fixing priorities might appear somewhat eclectic.

This issue should be fixed in the latest release of Photoshop CC: https://blogs.adobe.com/photoshop/2017/10/get-the-goods-announcing-updates-to-photoshop-cc-dimension...

I found an answer in another forum, if someone sees this, I'll leave the answer here, it worked for me.

As workaround, go to Preferences > Technology Previews... and enable "Older GPU mode (pre 2016)" - Restart Photoshop.
