PS2024: small problem in gradient tool

Hi guys, greetings and cheers to all. Just checking in with a small bug to fix in PS2024 (Mac): the foreground/background function doesn't work with the gradient tool. I love the new look and function of gradients, thank you!!! But now all gradients start with white and go to black. Using the foreground/background tool it would be nice if you could switch black/white, as with previous versions of PS. Or maybe it isn't broken but I just don't know how to use it LOL. Either way many thanks. : )

    In case anyone else got stuck with this issue, the answer is to hit the "reverse" button up on the options bar. LOL. : )

    No, you are correct. The Tool is very much broken. The Foreground / Background Gradient tool option should flip color when the Actual Foreground / Background colors change. This only works upon first selecting the tool, after using the tool it doesn't' change when the Foreground / Background changes. 

    I work with PS mask layers all day long, using the keys D (Default Foreground/Background) and X (Swap Foreground/Background) are my life blood. This broken feature was immediate to me 10 minutes after updating from PS 2023 today.
