Photoshop 2020 Strokes Glitch When Applied to Large Groups

[gdwd]

When strokes are applies to groups with large contents, "phantom" strokes in the form of large rectangles are created, which are only visible when zoomed in past a certain point, and change upon further zooming.

It's really hard to describe it, so here's an video showing how I produce the glitch and how it behaves. https://gfycat.com/peskymasculinebilby

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a large transparent canvas (I used a size of 10,000x10,000)

2. Make two brush strokes far apart (brush or pencil tool)

3. Create a group for that layer

4. Add a stroke to that layer (not shown in the video, but it's a basic stroke with "outside" position)

5. (Optional) Play around by zooming in or drawing on that layer, or using the eraser tool on blank canvas as I did in the video.

When exported, the phantom stroke is much larger than it appears in Photoshop. Here is an example, you may have to download the image to see it with transparency: https://i.imgur.com/m5jIEQj.png

I'm having the same problem. Any fix?

Recently encountered this problem. It was occuring in Photoshop 2020, so I opened my file in Photoshop 2019 and the weird stroke rectangle didn't come back, even in exporting. I'd say try opening the file in older PS versions. Hope it works for you too!

Same; Though I appreciate the workaround, we don't pay monthly as professionals to have this bad of glitches in the program with no fix. I'm having a plethora of programs with Photoshop 2020.

Maybe PS just got the memo that's it's 2020 and is going haywire like everything else lol.

Was anyone able to find a solution to this problem?

For me, it's not showing up until I export the PNG, and then I have two white chunks of white in an otherwise transparent background.
