V13 - couple of minor misbehavings

Hi all,

Working on an AVCHD project yesterday, I noticed a couple of small things I'd carefully qualify as minor but not really reproducable "bugs". One was that after about 2 hours of work, the thumbnails all disappeared. The other thing was that on one video track, Vegas would suddenly not let me crop the media anymore. Instead of the usual grid with the dotted frame and the circle , there was only a grid with no way of interfering with the media whatsoever. There were also no more presets to choose from ( the usual 4.3, 16:9 etc).
A V13 restart brought the thumbnails back, but the crop problem only went away after a full reboot. so far, I had never seen this happen on V12.
Has anyone else run into this?
Thanks!

This may help:
When the number of files in the thumbnails folder reaches 255, Vegas can stop responding or display the wrong thumbnail, on no thumbnails. Cleaning thumbnails folder (C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Sony\Vegas Pro\13.0\Media Pool Thumbnails) may help (and it can't hurt since Vegas will rebuild the thumbnails as needed.

Thanks Steve. I was far from 250 though, but in any case this helps as I won't have to completely restart Vegas.
It seems that the longer I work with V13, the more of these little annoyances show up. Yesterday, V13 suddenly refused a font that was clearly displayed OK in the text window. Once superimposed on the media on the timeline, the font changed. I had to choose another font that worked as it should.
