And if you want to complain about this change, go directly to Matt.

I found a topic on the Support forums there, but there’s no fix, just explanations and wonderings.

Thanks anyway, though!

It was only for WordPress.com blogs, which are run with WordPressMU.

As for your problem, if WordPress can’t find your Theme for any reason, it will revert to the Default Theme. That is why it may revert after you upload a new version of your stylesheet. During the process, someone may have visited or you may have triggered your blog in a way that it went hunting for the stylesheet, didn’t find it, and reverted. Just change it back. Pretty simple.

They put this “protection” in the recent versions of WordPress and it makes sense but it doesn’t always work in the real world.

Can you share more about the fix?

Thanks, Lorelle. :-)

Yeah! submit feedback button is back (I did the feedback previously but it doesn’t do much without the submit button also present)

Hit that Feedback button and tell them how you feel. I’m throughly disgusted, and let them know that, by this new preview change. It sucks and puts WordPress back into the dark ages of pre-preview days, one I’m not eager to return to. If this stays, I’ll be ranting about it publicly in a day or two. It might just be temporary. Let’s hope, but let them know how you feel about it.

If you are having this problem on a stand-alone version of WordPress, you may have bigger problems. The 2.1.3 release was a security patch which fixed vulnerabilities which allowed nasty people to do nasty things to your blog. It’s a good thing you upgraded, but make sure nothing else happened when you weren’t looking. There have been reports of evil doers exploiting those who haven’t upgraded.
