The copy paste method did the same, it was offset when pasted onto a c= orrectly sized solid.

I was trying to find a plugi= n that used mask info to set the matte that way, but they seem to use the c= hannels only, not the mask paths. I had tried Set Matte. :(

You should be able to slip the solid to the left.

I can't say it was 10.7.4, but my file corruption iss= ues 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 some 3rd party QuickTime plugins from the Library/Quic= kTime folder (DIVX and Google Camera Adabpter) and have had better stabilit= y... I think Eric mentioned he did something similar, too.
