Inconsistency With Transform Controls in Control Bar
I am noticing inconsistent display of Transform dimensions in the Control bar, when selecting similar elements. Referencing the attached images, notice that when one of the pasted .tif images is selected, the Transform dimensions are displayed in the Control Bar, but when the other image is selected, the Transform controls are collapsed and require an extra click to view and copy/paste sizes. These images were copy and pasted from the same website and appear to be the same format. Unfortunately, this slows down my workflow as previous iterations of the software always displayed the Transform dimensions of selected elements within the Control Bar and could be quickly and easily accessed without extra clicks.
I understand that these can be available to me with expanded Transform or Properties panels, but I prefer to keep my workspace clean and only expand panels when necessary. Having this info in the Control bar has been an essential part of my workflow for over 10 years.

Egor, that is exactly what appears to be happening. I would say that it makes sense that there is a character limit cut off, but there is so much other junk clogging up the control bar that I never use.
I upvoted those other threads, thanks for pointing those out. It sounds like a lot of us are on the same page with these junk AI features.

My guess it’s because of the different names’ lengths.
The longer name forces the Transform block to be just slightly out of the space to becomes collapse.
Here, look, the first image is
fcFKol.tif
the second is
aZbOwh.tif
Same 6 letters, but characters themselves are wider.
Alas, this happened because of the recent GenAi changes — the added 'Edit Image' button, as well as 'Concept to vector'.
I struggle from a similar problem as well.
