FF 2.006 changes filter behaviours?

i might be going crazy, but it seems that FF 2.006 changes the output generated by some filters?!

Ammonite is a really obvious example -- the output looks nothing like the preview pictures.
(I've been using this filter recently, and it was the one I had open when running FF 2.006 for the first time).

Is this change expected, or an introduced bug?
Seems like a bug to me.

2.006 shouldn't change anything -- all components are versioned. The output of a filter may look different on a thumbnail and final pic due to possible aliasing artifacts in the thumbnail. Could you post a link to the filter in question?

Edit: Ammonite looks OK. Here's what I just rendered on my work machine:

Yeah, I thought you versioned the components to prevent this.
Here's what I get from FF2.006 on Ammonite -- oh I should have mentioned this is on the Mac build.

Got this, mac OS X 10.6.3 Beta 2.006.

I suspect you've got that 2004 (or 3) bug that caused the filters to be corrupted. There is a thread here that describe the problem:

Thanks Totte -- it appears you are correct -- forcing a redownload of that filter has fixed the problem.
Weird that the previous version of FF handled the filter on my harddrive perfectly.. oh well!

Now I guess I need to redownload all filters, otherwise I have no way of knowing which filters have become corrupted.
Sigh!

Thanks again Totte!
