P: Smart Filter Gaussian Blur/Blending Options Creating Halo

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

I created a Smart Object containing white text on a transparent background. The Smart Object has a .5 px  Gaussian Blur applied as a Smart Filter. The blending options of the Smart Filter are set to Mode: normal, Opacity: 40%. If I edit the contents of the Smart Object (for example, change the position of the text) the Smart Object creates a dark halo around the text when it updates. If I edit the Smart Filter's blending options to reapply the same settings the halo disappears. It's a major drag to have to reapply the blending options anytime I update my smart object. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Jeremy

works fine here. You should probably include all your specs.

I've been able to recreate this issue as follows:
1) Create a 500 x 500 px 72 dpi document. 
2) Fill the background with red to help emphasize the halo.
3) Add a line of text on a new layer at font color white,  size 100 pt.
4) Convert the layer to a Smart Object.
5) Blur the Smart Object with a Smart Filter, .5 Gaussian blur.
6) Change the blending options of the Smart Filter to 40% opacity.
(this is what the text should look like)
7) Edit the contents of the Smart Object. Move the text up a few pixels. Save the changes.
8) Smart Object now has a slight dark halo.

9) Edit blending options of the Smart Filter with original settings (40% opacity).
(removes halo)

The halo is more pronounced when I import into After Effects and then export with a straight alpha. There is no halo if I bring it into After Effects before step 7 or after step 9.

Thanks.

Thanks for the steps to reproduce. I've logged an issue for an engineer to investigate.
