Layers Panel / Mixed views

Working with AI for 20+ years and these slight changes are what piss me off the most.

Within the layers panel, objects with no fill or stroke are showing up in the layer thumbnail in outline mode.

A quick glance to this thumbnail assures no stroke or fill are present in this cut layer, which is neccessary for output to printer. Now it shows object in outline mode which looks like a black stroked object.

Is there anyway to view all layer thumbs in preview mode like the past versions? Is this a bug?

Correct answer david_6755

I'll just come to the conclusion that toggling layer view between outline/preview now updates the thumbnail as well. I've never seen this before but guess I'll have to get use to it because less than 1% of users probably asked for it.

Another example...

Issue does not show up initially. After switching views between preview and outline mode, Control clicking eye in layers and moving objects around, thumbnail will eventually change to outline mode. Looks like a glitch so I do apologize thinking you intentionally made this change.

Hello @david_6755,

Would you mind confirming the version of the OS/Illustrator and sharing a screen recording of your workflow when compared to an earlier version of Illustrator (https://adobe.ly/3ESKrY9) so I can check this with the team?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Issue is present on upgrade to 29.3.1  Running windows 10 ( might be the issue) Looking to upgrade this PC asap as we found gamebar and snipping tool unable to record.

But can't see a simple preview thumbnail in layers folder being affected by operating system, but I could be wrong.
