Prusaslicer 2.8 won't show supports after slicing

Hi everyone, 

  I just upgraded to Prusaslicer 2.8 and have run into an issue involving supports.     I had no issues with the previous version.   when I add supports, whether or not they are generated or painted on, they do not appear in the slicer window after slicing.  They will still print, but I do like to be able to see the supports.   Is this something that needs to be turned on now; or is this an issue with this version of Prusaslicer?

I went back to 2.7.x   I found too many problems within a few hours with 2.8.0.   Waiting for 2.8.x   Turn in bugs to Github, Prusaslicer area with the .3mf file if you can.

Can confirm that support generation is pooched in 2.8.0. I need to paint them on in most cases.

I haven't tested the auto generate yet.  I paint them on most of the time.     What I have occurring is that once I slice an STL, the image disappears until I click the 3d editor view.   But, any added slicing is missing when the object image is rendered.   I don't know if I have any support until I print the file.    I will test the auto generate support feature and repost.

PS has the ability to hide features from the legend in the sliced preview. Are your supports simply 'hidden'? Or is it a graphical rendering issue? A screenshot might help.

The supports are not printed unless I paint them on. I don't think it's just a problem of turning on or off displaying certain options.

This is what I end up with after slicing an STL.
