When setting a layer material to some material from the library, the Layers panel shows the new material, as expected. Clearing the layer material (resetting it to Default Material) doesn’t update the Layers panel until the file is reopened.
Correct display:
The Layers panel is out of sync after resetting the material:
To reproduce:
- Create a new model, add some geometry to the active layer
- Change the active layer material (in the Layers panel) to some material
- Observe that the Layers panel shows the correct material
- Change the active layer material to the Default Material
- Notice that the Layers panel still shows the previously assigned material
