When applying a gradient inside a layer mask on a layer using the blending option 'Texture' the texture does not follow the gradient, its either on or it is off.

Correct answer davescm

Have you tried checking "Layer mask hides effects" in Blending Options. Without it your inner glow will start at the 50% mask value

I fail to see a Blend Mode »Texture« so what are you talking about?

Please post a meningful screenshot including the pertinent Panels (Layers, Options, …) and dialogs.

The relevant blending options are Pattern Overlay and Texture. I'm talking about a white fill layer (raster) that has been masked with an empty mask. I then use the gradient tool within the mask to gradually hide part of the layer, but instead it either hides 50/50 with a hard cut (no gradient) or is full black (the mask I mean). See screenshots.
