Bug in Photoshop Action Player affecting some Adjustment Layers steps

Question

I skipped CS4 and when I installed CS5 I discovered a nasty bug had been introduced is Photoshop's Action facility most likely in CS
4.
Action that add adjustment Layers clipped to the current layer that step is recorded Make adjustment layer with Clip.
Action that add adjustment Layers not clipped Step records as Make adjustment layer.
When a step Make adjustment layer with Clip is played back that is what Photoshop does.
When a step Make adjustment layer is played back what Photoshop does is look at the adjustment panel clipping icon state and and if
it is clip to current layer Photoshop does clip the adjustment layer to the current when is should be applied to all.
Many of the actions I have created add adjustment layer applied to all then later clip them to the current layer. These actions
genearate an error message if the Adjustment panel clipping icon is set to clip. Because the layer get added clipped, clipping the adjustment
layer  it is not available. The strange thing is the layer is clipped the way I want it to be. But actions I recorded where I want the adjustment to
apply to all are clipped and the is no error message just wrong results.

Answer 1

To avoid the problem you described, i always leave
the  Clip to Layer unchecked.
That way you never have to worry about those errors.
I just let the actions dictate clipped or not.
If i want to clip a layer, i just do it myself using the button circled in red.
