REALLY weird vanishing glitch within game salad.

So i'm working on a couple games in game salad at the moment, and the weirdest thing keeps happening. Things are just disappearing out of no where like Images, attributes, actors, sounds, and entire rules.

eg. :
-The main actor image disappeared from the actor out of no where, but not from game salad.

-When testing a game, some sounds don't play. But if i try again then those that didn't play, might play. But others might not play instead.

-I was adding stuff to some of my actors, and when i came back to one of my actors, some attributes vanished as if i had never put them there at all. This happened again with a few other actors. This makes game development very difficult, since i am constantly having to check things to make sure everything is still there.

These aren't just me making mistakes. Maybe there is something i'm missing. That's why i'm posting it here. Maybe it's a computer glitch, a game salad glitch, or just sloppy work on my part. Please help.
Thanks.

    Happens to me too. Sometimes some attributes disappear when the mouse is over them.
    I have to close and reopen GS, although I still do it every 5 minutes because on Yosemite the creator works very badly.

    It's a bug in .12.10 and maybe on Mavericks. Submit a bug!

    I'm getting this too - though I'm using Yosemite. I'd be surprised if this hasn't been reported by someone else already...

    oops, I always mix those up. I'm on yosemite too. I don't know if it is a yosemite bug or just a .12.10 bug.

    but that being said, it's not a huge deal. every time it hits me I just back out of the actor and go back in and the attribute is there. I've never had it actually get removed, it's just hidden.

    Rules Dont work for me... Any rule that is when actor receives event does not function AT ALL. Wonder if this is due to this glitch

    I get it with Mavericks, I also used to get it (very occasionally) with previous OSs. And I'm pretty sure I have had this (again only very occasionally) with builds prior to 12, I'm still on 12.8 (RC) and it happens with that.

    Yep, most of the times you can just leave the relevant page and return which will fix it, but I have had expressions completely disappear . . . working just fine, previews goes as expected, you return to the expression to see a blank field, clicking on it doesn't show anything, and from there on it's gone . . . I've also had (in particles) a field where it's always blank, clicking on it reveals the expression, but no amount of swapping windows and opening and closing will get the expression to show.
