Character portraits vanishing on PS3

[Talos7626]

When my characters level up and I spend their ability points then go back to the main screen. Their portraits are no longer there unless I hit L1 or get into a fight. I have to reload an earlier save.

I would like to be able to spend ability points and continue to see the character portraits without hitting L1. Is there a fix for this or an ingame option that im missing?

Would appreciate any help, please.
