Highlight recovery module switching randomly to clip highlights instead of inpaint opposed

[tpinfold]

Describe the bug

I am using the latest Windows 4.7 +818 weekly build and I have noticed for sometime that the highlights reconstruction module occasionally switches from inpaint opposed to clip highlights. This seems a random event because I went back to the latest image with this problem and checking image history the highlights recovery definitely set to clip highlights itself. Then I made a duplicate image set to original and the module set to inpaint opposed. I then cleared the history of the image at fault and it set the module to inpaint opposed. Going through a series of images it happened on a few randomly with no obvious pattern. The current images were shot on a Olympus TG6, but I believe I have seen in on images from other cameras including my Canon R7. If I see it on any of my other cameras later I will report it here.

Steps to reproduce

This is a random event so even supplying an image may not cause it to reproduce.

Expected behavior

Darktable should use inpaint opposed by default for the highlight recovery module

Did you possible copy & paste history or style from an image that doesn't support "inpaint opposed"?

Could you share the xmp at least? (better also the image in question)

I've noticed that Clip Highlights seems to be the default now in 4.6.1, whereas I thought it was meant to be Inpaint opposed. When I click reset on the module, it resets to Clip Highlights. I have checked that I don't have any auto applied presets for this module. Is there anything else I should check, or do we have a bug?

I am using master build 4.7.0+1037~g5fa5735051 and the default is set to "inpaint opposed"

Sorry for late reply. I missed seeing the question. I do apply a style which has basic denoising, sharpening, exposure and white balance settings. But this issue seems random and hard to reproduce. Resetting the history on the images that presents clips highlights option usually get rid of the problem. I am not sure if problem persists on the latest 4.7 build. If it reoccurs I will inform you. Thanks
