P: Cancelling rename layer groups resets layer colors

This bug seems to be happening consistently -- when I rename a layer group, Photoshop CS6 resets the color of all the layers inside the group to "no color" (including in nested groups).

Pete Green, are you still aware of this bug?

Anyone at Adobe, has fixing this bug reached your roadmap yet? It's 2016 and we have Photoshop CC now. I know 4 years is not a lot of time on a geological timescale, but for a software product is seems a bit long.

Imagine you have a very complicated layer and folder structure packed inside a parent folder, all neatly arranged and color coded. Imagine now you do one accidental click. All the color coding gets reset. It's fine (well, not really) when you notice it right away and can ctrl+z, but you usually notice it quite a few steps later, rendering the action undoable, so you start to consider ditching the whole layer coloring concept.

Once again, please, fix this annoying bug.

I can see that this thread is already a year old - but I've just recently got Photoshop CS6 Extended and noticed this bug is still not resolved.

Version no: 13.0.1 x64 (part of production premium)

Hmm. This appeared to be fixed in 13.0.1 according to our bug tracker. Investigating what happened.

I'd noticed my layer colors defaulting to None, but didn't bother to figure out why.

Finally noticed.

Your carefully color-coded layers, inside of a Layer Group, will lose their coloring scheme if you change the Layer Group's name which they're grouped into.

To avoid: "un-nest" layers from Layer Group, change Layer Group name, then nest layers back in Layer Group.
