Layer Control drop-down

Can anyone explain why AutoCAD (v2009) would revert to showing only the current layer in the Layor Control drop-down?

If I open a different drawing, the Layor Control drop-down shows all drawing layers. Which tells me there is a setting saved with the afflicted drawing file.

Are any filters on?

Went to Layer Properties Manager, clicked on "All", closed it, and now all layers appear in the Layor Control drop-down. Which is great, since that's what I expect. Can't seem to recreate the symptom though, which bugs me. There are only 2 filters- "All Used Layers" and "Xref".

Ah hah! - If I check "Invert filter" in the Layer Properties Manager the symptom sort-of reoccurs. Must have clicked on it by accident. But then, none of the Layers show up in the Layer Properties Manager when "Invert filter" is checked, and when the problem occurred earlier, they did. Hmm.

As you might guess, I seldom utilize filters.
