Color Range Tool - Strange Behavior

Has anyone noticed what happens when using the Color Range Tool with Localized Color Clusters ticked and Fuzziness set to low values. Two rectangles appear in the preview as the Fuzziness slider approaches 0. This with the latest 22.2.0 version of Photoshop running on Win 10 version 20H2 build 19042.746. If you sample a point using the eye dropper they go away and the tool seems to work as expected. See the screen grab to see what I'm describing. Very strange...

This morning I can't reproduce it either. When it happened the other day, I closed down Ps then restarted it and still had the strange behavior. This morning it's gone. Gremlins in the machine I guess...strange!
