Sure wish that I didn't get so hard headed in my old age. I think that
I finally figured it out. In Edit/Preferences/Cursors/Painting Cursors
I have full-size cursor tip selected and I will bet that you have Normal
brush tip selected. The paint brush tool also works the same way.

I just did try it again on CC. I made a square, painted 1/2 of it black
and 1/2 of the remainder red. Into the white remainder square I cloned
a black circle made at 100 pixel diameter, 100% brush hardness and
"normal" cloning mode. I then did nothing except change the brush
hardness to 25%. I then started a clone from the red area over the top
of the black circle I had just created. I was surprised to see that the
diameter of the brush cursor had been reduced by (perhaps) 10% or so. I
could also see that there was overspray not only beyond the reduced
diameter cursor but also (just barely perceptible) beyond the 100 pixel full s
original black circle into the white area. I then repeatedly pressed
the mouse button while holding in the same spot and watched the
overspray grow to a larger and larger diameter well beyond the original
100 pixel black circle. Mysteriously, the cursor diameter was
increasing slightly as well with each press of the mouse button.
If you can perform this test (I used red for the reduced hardness test
to make the changes more visible) and not see the same thing then there
has to be something else different. The clone tool supports many, many
modes and I know not what most of them do. Make sure you are in
"normal" mode for this test.
