Material previews twisted

Rendering
1

Hello,
I would like to align all my material previews uniformly. The selected preview should also be visible for new materials. How can I achieve this? There are the fields “Save as default” and “Load from default values”, but nothing happens for me. I cannot load an entered value. Not even for all of them. Is there a function for this or is it not working properly?

That seems to work here:

eg:
here I am right clicking on the blue material preview and go to its properties, and click “save as defaults”

then I select all the thumbnails and right click on one, to load defaults:

That’s what I would have expected. But it has no function for me. Even if I do it exactly as described. Nothing happens.

hi Frank,

pls run _SystemInfo and post back the results, so that I can try to replicate the behavior in the version you are running.
