Exactly the same as this problem from way back, only I've had this from 1.8.0 to present (2.1.0 master).
Yay, symbols:
Boo: no symbols, cue MS Paint:
Anyone know why this might be or have the same problem?
Happens on Win7 & Ubuntu (& Xubuntu) 13.04.
This issue raised on hug.qis.org (and can be subscribed to) here.
I had the same problem with vector data on version 2.1.0 master but got it solved by opening the project with 2.0 version.
I have seen the same thing with rasters. I can't tell you why it happens but the solution is easy. Simply remove the layer in question from the legend and then re-add it. Sometimes the 'Update item' button does the trick but not always.
Another quirk I've found is that sometimes it seems unresponsive if you try to change the text for the labels or the title. The simplest way to work around that glitch is to change the layer title in the first tab of the layer properties (and it's probably best to change the label text in the style tab of the layer properties while you're at it). Then do the remove-and-add-again trick in the legend and all will be well.
This problem seems to be isolated to rasters and in particular when the raster is changed or added and a map is already open
