Wow. As I said, good thing I saved my file w/ new name when I could.

Really not sure what happened but I was in Retopo and simply tweeking some vertices with the Brush tool. Had one that didn't want to move & was zooming in tighter & trying to adjust or test brush size I think. Didn't know if it was too small or large. Anyway, suddenly cursor went wild, had it off active panel but not when I tried to dismiss. Got some Windows error about Explore. Kept hitting ESC & At-Tabbing until message came up about something being unstable, save project which I did. Finally was able to exit to the Desktop.

I usually do a simple log-off & back on at this point which I did. Instead, Win went into restart, but I had to hit Reset as it had hung. Upon restart, had to enter BIOS as there was an Overclocking error. Did so & all was as it should be so Saved & restarted. Windows starts uneventfully.

Start 3DC but instead of selecting the previous which it shows as the CrashSave file, I open the file I was working on just before. I go back to the same area (Left Eye) & try the same process of using Brush & tweeking the verts. Just a slight move sends the vert off the screen. Tried on a few others & same thing.

I then open the CrashSave file & try the same thing and it works as expected. I go back & forth testing both projects & it's 100% consistent.

The Autosave files are earlier than than the crashsaved one so no clues there.

My questions are: What should I be on the lookout for? Something like this a known quirk; I mean how would I even search for something like this?

Thanks.

Very Strange.  Earlier was 100% would do it.  Now I can't get it to.  Both opened up with snapping at 77% though.  Maybe brush radius was a factor as that's the only thig I recall changing & that in turn is related to snapping?

Alright.  Gonna just chalk it up to Evil Spirits and move on.  If it happens again I'll try to get more symptoms.

Tnx
