Unity 2020.3 object picker thumbnail slider disappearing and switching to list view?

Questions & Answers
1

I like using the object picker with a nice large thumbnail view so I can put in the few letters i know that will be a part of the sprite name like “icon” or “button”, then select the sprite from the filtered options. However, since we upgraded to Unity 2020 LTS, when putting in a 1 to 3 letters into the search field, the thumbnail view collapses into a list view and the thumbnail size slider disappears so I can’t change it back into a thumbnail view. This is kind of irritating since the project has a looot of sprites, the list view doesn’t show a preview and I don’t memorize the names of each sprite, so I end up selecting each element to see if its the right sprite on the preview pane at the bottom of the object picker.

I’m holding off on a bug report since it might be a preference thing I’ve overlooked, though I’ve searched high and low. Anyone knows anything about this?

I’m fairly certain this is a bug - do you know if there’s already a report with Unity?

It’s very annoying.

EDIT: I submitted a bug report. You could too, to help bring attention to it.

I’ve also noticed that the slider only disappears if you enter more than one character, but if the text entered doesn’t match anything then the slider doesn’t disappear.
