Photoshop CC 20.0 - Color Blending Layer producing unexpected results

[bfavia]

Since upgrading to Photoshop CC 20.0, I have been encountering issues with the layer blending feature, particularly the "Color" setting. As you will see in my screenshot below, Layer 3 is filled with a solid green color and blending set to "Color". The photo below, Layer 2, should be completely green tone, but for some unknown reason there are segments where it is gray.

There's no masks or anything, and the gray segments even change slightly as I move around Layer 2. They even disappear altogether at certain zoom percentages.

I did not have this issue in Photoshop CC 19, only the new version. Any clues as to why this is happening?

Hi, Try to reset your photoshop Preferences and reboot it.

It will solve your issue.

To rest preferences quickly using a keyboard shortcut: Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings.

Thanks all! I had searched the forum before but did not see the older thread on this issue before.
