Description Yu-Hsuan Lai 2025-12-22 15:01:53 UTC 
SUMMARY
Overview Docker isn't updated when the layer's state is changed via script. For example, when the layer's visibility is changed by node.setVisible() (instead of calling an action)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Krita, create a new layer and put some brush strokes
2. Make sure Overview Docker is visible
3. Run this script via Scripter:
```
app = Krita.instance()
doc = app.activeDocument()
window = app.activeWindow()
view = window.activeView()
selected_layers = view.selectedNodes()
layer = selected_layers[0]
layer.setVisible(not layer.visible())
```

OBSERVED RESULT
The layer's visibility is toggled, but the Overview Docker isn't updated

EXPECTED RESULT
The layer's visibility is toggled, and the Overview Docker is updated
