Hello!
My problem is that since a few months ago after an update to Photoshop (i waited maybe it gets fixed but its not) i encountered a problem that makes my workflow harder.
When i lock a layer and i want to recolor something, it no longer uses the primary color. On the example below you can see my primary color is white and secondary is yellow. I lock the layer and start painting and it uses the yellow instead of the white!
It is a very huge pain if i lock a layer and start painting realistically in it, and i constantly color pick) And the fun part? Its random! Sometimes its working normally using the primary color as it should! Its completely unpredictable, but most times it uses the wrong color.
Also! The same goes for masking. Instead of using the black selected it uses the white and vice versa! Sometimes it doesnt even change when i change from black to white it masks the same way. Sometimes it doesnt matter if i set it to black or white it continues to remove from the mask.
And sometimes when i click on an other layer and i click back to the mask layer it miraculously start working normally again!
WHAT is going on?? Is there a fix for these problems? Help me with this pretty please! ❤️ Thank you in advance.

Hey, @Eliza29459720lyb0. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll need more information to help you figure this out. Please share a video of the issue and the system info from Photoshop Help > System info > Copy and paste into a text document > Upload and attach here.
I've tried to recreate this, but I couldn't recreate it exactly. Could you share a sample image PSD document to showcase the exact layer properties?
Also, please test and confirm if the issue exists with Photoshop (Beta). You can get Photoshop (beta) from the Creative Cloud > Apps tab > Beta Apps section.
Thanks!

Hi, can you check if your color panel has the foreground, and not the background color well selected? Is the background lock a trigger for the issue? IE, it does not manifest itself when not locked?
