In 21.2 using Blend If on a group closes the application

To replicate:
1. Create a group from 2 layers (these can be pixel layers or adjustment layers
2. Go to Blending options for teh group
3. Move the Blend if underlying layer slider

Result - Photoshop closes down - with no error message
Expected result - Blend if to work

System : Photoshop 21.2 , Windows 10 v1909, 64 GB RAM, Nvidia GTX1080 driver 442.92

mattstix is correct on the fact that it no longer crashes but the blend/if still isn't working. Here's the weird part! I've attempted to add multiple layer adjustments inside a group and then use blendif on a group and the effect is either ON or OFF no blending. This had been tried on Canon, Nikon, and Fuji images both 8 bit and 16 bit.

But tonight I create a file from scratch using Photoshop 16 bit and put a black to white gradient on it. Then I created multiple adjustments put them into a group and did blend if on the group and it worked. 

THIS MAKES NO SENSE.

Please also view Lance’s posts below, confirming effect is either 100% on or 100% off

The app is no longer crashing, but Blend If ON A GROUP doesn’t work. Using it just toggles the group effect on and off, there’s no luminosity-based, graduated blend

I set up a new thread as it’s getting confusing on here. I believe Jeffrey is/was escalating

Hi @mattstix The blend-if should no longer be crashing and behaving like it was in previous versions?  Can you please elaborate on the functionality issue?

Sorry Jeffrey - let me just clear something up. Is this fixed as in "not crashing" (this has been fixed for a while) or has the functionality of Blend If on a group been restored??? 

Because as of 22.1, Blend If on a group still doesn't work - the app may not crash but the functionality still is not there

If indeed it is, that will be wonderful news. Thanks
