  • it is not sufficient to show to us that errors sometimes happen.
    What we need is a precise case how to redo it. What I tested was:

    - default startup
    - add cube, add new material, add a couple of slots
    - change color -> things update correct

    The preview-render for icons is a threaded job that can get cancelled if you press buttons extremely fast, maybe this is a reason?

  • Blender 2.56 dowloaded from Blender.org

    Start up Blender.
    Add 1 new material on default cube: No preview sphere (the little sphere not the big, pic1 is useful for understand wich sphere))
    Change material type to Wire now is update
    Add a new material, slot make it a single user copy and change the diffuse color the color of the preview sphere in slot panel is not updated
    Change material type to Surface, now is update

    Same with rev 33974

  • I agree that the original sequence of operations was not very clear to follow and you really need to see the screenshots to understand.
    I looked more carefully and there is something not working well here.

    For instance :
    file->load factory default (for cleanness)
    clic the diffuse color patch in the default material of the default cube.
    On the color wheel, click on a blue region of the wheel, maintain the mouse button pressed and drag the mouse to a green part of the wheel then release the mouse button.
    The "big" preview sphere is green (correct)
    The very small sphere next to the material name is blue. (incorrect)
    It's not consistent. see pict3.png
    And it's not a matter of speed, I tried very slowly.

    "Missing parameters" error, I will retry later.

  • Also using the Intensity slider below the the diffuse color will not update the small Preview Sphere, if you do it in one fluently operation. If you have a bright color (e.g. Yellow) and you drag the Intensity slider to the left ("in one constant drag operation") the big preview sphere will be updated, however the small one will not. If you in stead click the mouse (while holding down the button) and drag the slider in small increments (while holding the button move it in small increments) the small preview sphere will be updated each time you "start a new drag").

  • I've tracked the issue down, it appeared there were too many icon jobs sent to the render engine, which caused this.
    Thanks for the report, fix is in svn and will be in 2.56a this week.
