whites behaving weirdly over specific areas of the canvas

[Foxagon]

My font outline stroke is affected by something. it is missing/color affected over specific areas of the canvas

This is despite it being at the top of the layers. 

The affect parts are static to the canvas but not to the font, i.e. there are part of the canvas where the outline isnt affected.

Also, only the stroke is affected and not the font itself.

Please help me so I dont have to redo the enter poster. Thank you!

Sorry its not just whites,  it looks like possibly parts that i removed using color range selection earlier, is there a way to undo this?

@Foxagon have you checked the history panel

[Foxagon]

The damage was done too long ago, and isnt in the history panel.

You'll need to redo it from the start, unless you have backups from previous states

It looks like it could be a Blend Mode applied to a Stroke in a Layer Style.

Would you be able to post a screenshot of your canvas with the Layers panel visible? If you have Layer styles applied to the affected layer, could you also let us know which ones you used and/or post screenshots of the settings?

Thank you so much! Yes, color dodge was selected. I dont have to redo my poster and learnt a new blend mode today.
