Select and Mask is not working

Select and mask is not working properly.  Selections are not finding edges and refine edge works more as an eraser and obliterates the edge.  I am running Photoshop CC 20.0.1 on a Mac running Mojave 10.14.1. 

Here is a screenshot initially using the quick selection brush:

Edge identification is pretty rough.

Here is effect of using the refine edge brush:

It is just deselecting (like an eraser).  If I switch it from add to subtract from selection, it does nothing at all.  The issue is the same if I switch the mode from 16 bit to 32 bit. 

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

OK - figured it out.  Shift edges is set to -100.  Didn't notice it but setting at 0 seems to have solved the issue.  Thanks for checking on it for me.

Hi there,

That shouldn't be happening, could you please try enabling "Legacy compositing" located in Photoshop's Preferences > Performance, then relaunch Photoshop and let us know if it helps?

Regards,
Sahil

Switching to legacy compositing and relaunching did not change it.  If any question btw, this is not a composted image - just an ordinary photo and a simple selection of the sky.

This didn't work for me. Mask quality is still poor and very difficult to work with.
