Was the "thumbnail size" slider removed from the asset picker in Unity 2021?

Hi,

I notice that when i use the asset browser in Unity 2021 to search for an image in my project or to choose a material sometimes the thumbnail preview size slider just disappears when I enter a search string that returns a small number of search results.

I can no longer find images or materials in an intuitive way because I can no longer see the thumbnails for a narrowed selection. When using Unity 2019 I find searching for assets far more efficient when compared to Unity 2021 because in Unity 2019 the slider for thumbnail size remains set at the value the user sets it to, also it never disappears for any reason - which is expected behavior.

But now I notice the slider disappears and when this happens all thumbnails are collapsed to text only which prevents me from seeing the previews of the items of interest.

Was the thumbnail preview size slider changed (and now all thumbnails are completely minimized) in Unity 2021?

 

It's also happening in Unity 2020. I'm trying to select a sprite for a UI image. When trying to use the search bar all thumbnails disappear, leaving me with only the list view. Even the thumbnail size slider disappears. It also happens with other object pickers, e.g. when trying to select materials or meshes.

Here's a short video that demonstrates the issue:

 

Is there a fix for this? Still seeing this issue on 2020.3.12

 

I am avoiding Unity 2020 at all costs. Thanks for the update!!

 

Yeah, this is the first project in 2020 LTS since working on 2019 for more than a year. Really surprised at the dip in overall editor quality between the two. Everything takes forever, need to restart several times a day to get lighting bakes to work. Loading bars pop up after single line script changes - recomiples and asset imports take longer. Entering ~and~ exiting playmode now both also get loading bars too! (Why???) and other bugs like this littered all over. Iteration time has spiraled out of control, real shame. Have started discussing reskilling to Unreal with the team as Unity keeps going after extra markets like cars and industrial applications rather than focusing on improving or even maintaining the core idea that made it good - frictionless iteration and streamlined pipelines. Alas, that core concept seems to have rotted away almost completely now so not much reason to stick around.

 

Does anyone know if this has been fixed yet in Unity 2021?

 

Have you submitted a bug report?

 

Have the same issue on 2020.3!
