Sample with adj. layer

I can confirm this with Krita 1.6.1 :-(. Thanks for the bug report!

SVN commit 617918 by coppens:

Strange that this didn't work, but the new way is more consistent and actually works. Also changed the previously mentioned clearSelection on the adjustment layers to something sensible: Select All -> apply adjustment everywhere, Deselect -> apply nowhere.
