Presets behaving strangely .. to say the least...

Lightroom Classic CC V9.. on Mac using OS Mojave.

Some of my downloaded / purchased presets on the left hand panel (in DEVELOP module) are a bit funny.
When you hover over them they change the image as you would expect.... but when you click to select the preset the image changes again and now it doesn't look like it did when I was hovering before selecting.. It seems to be with presets that have either radial filters or graduated filters in them. The radial filters shift position and the graduated filters darken.
The "native" Lightroom presets are OK.

I haven't got a clue what this is about so any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

I made my own test preset today and just put two radial filters in it and saved it. I then opened LR again and used it on an image and it did the same. ie the radial filters moved when I went from the hovering position to selecting them. I will make another user preset that doesn't have radial or grad filter in but just a colour change and see if it does the same... will let you know.. I am just trying to narrow it down to what it is and then perhaps we can somehow get a solution.

I then created a preset with a radial filter in the top left and bottom right hand corners.

When I hover over this it shows the radial filters in the opposite corners but when I select it the image changed to the way that it was created .
So it's the preview which I get when hovering over the presets with radial or graduated filters in them that are definitely showing incorrectly on the image.

To test this theory I created a colour only adjusted preset and it worked fine. I then downloaded another preset and that worked fine as it had no radial or grad filter in it. I then added a grad to this one and saved it but when I apply this altered preset it did not show the radial filter that I added to it before saving it. So I think that we can say that it's a problem with any preset that has either a radial or graduated filter in it that are not previewing correctly.
