Disappearing Textures?....no, really

Morining all!

I'm having problems with disappearing textures…not the classic “missing texture-do a rebake” we all know; these are textures that appear and then disappear in about 10 seconds. Been happening for a couple of days, first noticed when would put on clothes that would then disappear (quell embarrassment!). Happened with lots of clothes from different vendors, and even with some t-shirts done with my own uploaded textures.
Further investigation showed that would it would happen even when opening the t-shirt texture from inventory….there it is, ten seconds pass…poof, picture window is empty.

Behaves the same if the texture is applied to a prim, applied to a prim by a script by the UUID, or if the texture is given to another resident, who does any of these things.

If one of the textures with this problem is applied to a visible prim, relogging or TPing away and back will restore it for the same 10 sec, then id disappears.

Have tried the obvious things…clearing cache, relogging, deleting all SL files and re-installing.

Have filed a bug report, is this part of the asset database issue that will hopefully get better? Have a lot of clothes that are now useless.

There was a mention of error in the code in earlier patch notes, which would supposedly result in textures disappearing from objects in distance, due to mistakes in calculating level of detail (LOD)

I can only guess the attempt to fix that error backfired and in some cases like yours textures not only not stay all way up to end of area you can still see, but are discarded immediately (or every 10 secs or whenever LOD check is done) o.O;
