Hide/Show Other bug

[Yuri P.]

When I click "Hide Other", other layers are hidden. However, when I click, "Show other", not all of them become visible again. It takes some playing with hiding/showing layers until all of them are visible.

I tried this in Designer 2 and all of the layers that were hidden by Hide Others were revealed again when I chose Show Others. The ones that weren't visible prior to choosing Hide Others weren't shown when I chose Show Others so it worked perfectly for me. I tried it with both a simple test doc and one with 1000 layers.

What are you doing after choosing Hide Other? Perhaps it's something that you're doing that is triggering the problem. I did only a couple of basic things in between so perhaps more complex work would have led to encountering the issue.

I used .AFPHOTO file created in V1 - maybe this is the problem?

I attached the file in question.

The testing scenario:

1. Click on the third layer from the top (one of the paper textures), select "Hide Others".

2. Same layer, select "Show Others". All layers are marked as visible but not shown.

It works for me with your test document from both the Layers panel and Layers menu but I'm on macOS so this might be Windows specific. Have you tried it from the Layers menu?

@walt.farrell could you please test this one? Thanks.

It is some problem with the duplicate paper texture layer (2nd from the top). Show Others (from the Layers panel) shows everything, but that layer is hiding things as it is on top. If you turn it off, everything shows.

Or, if you select that layer, and click on its Opacity setting without changing anything, just click, everything shows.

Thanks Walt. This has to be a Windows-specific bug then.

Yes, I think it is.

Made some tests and, at first, the logic of "Hide/Show others" seems wrong, the "Visible/hidden" layer indicators work fine but the image does not come back.

But if you zoom in and out, I use the mouse roller, layers reappear. 

It's certainly a bug but it's easy to work around until it's fixed.

Hi @Yuri P.,

I can confirm I've been able to replicate your issue and it has now been logged with the developers. 🙂
