Can’t see layer thumbnails—any fix?

Hi,


Suddenly, my layer thumbnails are not displaying in the Layers panel. I tried increasing the thumbnail size and resetting my workspace, but nothing changed. It’s really frustrating because I rely on the previews when working with multiple layers.

 

Any idea what’s causing this?

Do a right click on free area of the layer panel and choose the appropriate option for the thumbnails in the pop up - menu.

I’m having that same problem but I DO have thumbnails selected in the pane’s options. It just started happening.
