Getting unwanted Red Mask in Layers in PS 2023

I am getting this strange Red Mask in PS 2023. 

 

I run a Action that do Luminosity Masking. 

 

When I click on the Layer, the photo becomes all Red Mask and I didn't do any Quick Mask.

 

In PS 2021 and PS 2022, I did not get Red Mask when I click on the Layers after doing this Action.

 

Need help. Thanks.

yes, you're previewing the channel in the Channels panel.

hope you have everything you need in this one


Can you provide the atn-file? 

So far it doesn't seem like I can reproduce the issue; you could try inserting selecting the composite Channel before enabling the Layer Mask in the Action, that should hide alpha channel/s.

What happens when you uncheck the visibility of the Channel »Midtone 06«?
