My hacky solution to this: Use an outer glow with 100% spread.

Dear Translucent Stroke in Photoshop,

Your blatant disregard for the shadow below you is disappointing as much as it is confusing.

I like Max’s solution to the problem:

I have this problem all the time… haven’t found a way to prevent it, but I defined a keyboard shortcut for Layer > Layer Style > Clear Layer Style.

I picked ⌥⌘X.

I’ve never found it useful to inherit the style. I can see why they thought it would be, but I find it unpredictable. Jonathan pointed out that a style “sticks” when the shape tool is selected at the same time an existing shape is highlighted. It’s true, but then that style doesn’t unstick until you tell it to, whether there’s a shape highlighted or not.

I’d rather have it as an option disabled by default, or really, just throw the whole thing out.

Is there a way to disable the inheritance of layer styles on shapes (or a shortcut to clear it)?

Healing brush seems to work.
