Another CS3 beta funny bug

I've noticed another minor annoyance: in some cases CS3 provides nice descriptive icons for the adjustment layers, but sometimes displays an old "generic" ones.

Here are two samples taken from two consecutively edited images:

CS3 Layer Icons bug:



I have a feeling that generic icons happen for the very first image, and next ones are OK, but I didn't spend enough time to verify this assumption...

Funny, however, than once you get generic (or new descriptive) icons in your PSD, you will keep getting them for this image.

CS2 does that as well. I think you'll find that it occurs based on the shape of the layer thumbnail. Notice in your example that the two with full icons are verticals. When the shape of the thumbnail is tall enough, there's enough room for a full icon. When the shape of the thumbnail is shorter you get the generic one.

You can change the size of the appearance of the icon by selecting "Palette Options" in the layers window. If you select the medium-sized thumbnail icon, it will appear as a descriptive icon regardless of file orientation.

Thanks a lot, guys!
That explains it!
