Clone Stamp getting dark - no optical illusion or blend mode set

Hello there,

When I'm using the clone stamp, every click I do, the clone stamp result is getting darker. It looks like the opacity is not set to 100% (but it's). My file is basically some straights lines that are interrupted and I'm using the clone stamp to fix it more quickly. I already did in other files with no problem, but now is weird. Here are some checks I did:
- clone stamp blend options: it's set to normal

- optical illusion: the main colors are black and white with a very few shades of gray. It's unlikely to be an optical illusion.

- I reset PS sets and the problem keeps happening.

- I tried different files and still happening.

- opacity is set to 100%

- brush type is hard.

I recorded a video showing what's happening. https://youtu.be/NKjsvUIaSLo

Thanks for any help

Correct answer Earth Oliver

but it's not a black and white image. You're trying to clone areas with transparency and that's going to be additive.

The root file is a PDF created in AutoCAD. The lines are the autocad lines. I did the same procedure in different files before and never happened this. I don't think would be transparency. Anyway, how do I check if it's transparency? All the layers are set with 100% opacity.
