Gradient cut (a bug?)

[Ivan Zajats]

Here's what I see when make a gradient near the edge of the canvas and then move it.

Is there any setting to avoid this?

Hello, how are you creating the gradient? If you are applying a gradient on the edge of a pixel layer; that is expected. An alternative would be to use a gradient fill level, https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/adjustment-fill-layers.html with the proper blending modes, (black to white, in multiply) it could work as you want.

yep, I use the Gradient tool on a blank layer

just tried an adjustment as you recommended and there's another problem - it's hard to move it

then I put it into a group and it's possible to move, but if I set up a blend mode and then move the group, the blend mode effect disappears... and if the Gradient is linear it's also cut (has the same size as the canvas)

my point is - if we create smth on a layer and move partially outside the canvas, it does not disappear, it's still there. so why can't we create a radial gradient partially outside the canvas? a bit strange for me

The gradient will always be cut of at the edge. If you want it to not be cut off, make it in the middle of your canvas or make a larger canvas.
