Use the "pan be= hind" tool "Y" on the keyboard.

You should be able to sli= p the solid to the left.

I can't say it was 10.7.4, but my file corruption issues that= I've been posting about on the IMUG forum have been on a 10.7.4 computer. I= haven't seen this happen on a 10.7.3 machine yet...

I've removed som= e 3rd party QuickTime plugins from the Library/QuickTime folder (DIVX and Go= ogle Camera Adabpter) and have had better stability... I think Eric mentione= d he did something similar, too.

Anybody else see anything weird with 10.7.4?
