I am not getting images in the layers panel just a box with a paintbrush in it.  What happened to the proper image?

Go to the top right of the layers panel and click on the square (four horizontal lines) to open the menu.

Then choose panel options.

Set the thumbnail size to anything except "none"

I am at a loss as to how things are supposed to work here.  I am having an issue with layers that I cannot understand.

Several years later and this is still helpful!  I couldn't figure out what the problem was until now.
