Expected bugginess or is it me?

Still new to Moho, and one of the things I've discovered is that while 88% of the time something isn't working because I don't yet know what I'm doing, the other 12% I'm darn sure I'm doing it right and it still isn't behaving. I'll close and re-open Moho (so fast! kudos, Smith Micro!) and whatever wasn't working will work now. Things like points or bones becoming invisible, unable to select a shape, etc. Is this just a known thing, that you have to close and re-open the program sometimes just to set things right?

On a semi-related note, I have a rectangle in a vector layer with a crayon effect on it, which moves across the screen in a cycling action, peeking through a mask to simulate the surface of a rotating planet. When I playback, I see the rectangle moving correctly, but the crayon effect doesn't render. When I hit Ctrl-R to render a frame, I do see the planet surface texture. Then I hit Ctrl-Shirt-R to render the movement, but I don't see it. Other elements of the same cycling action are happening, but not the texture of the rectangle. Also, I have a gradient sky, and sometimes it will just decide not to render the gradient, other times it does. Should I be expecting this kind of glitchiness or is something else going on?

Some effects only show when rendered or exported, and some depend on if you have GPU acceleration enabled or not. GPU acceleration lowers the playback quality to improve real-time playback. Ctrl+Shift+R is just a quick render of playback. It is not a proper export quality render. Some things, like fill effects, will also depend on which tool you have selected

I haven't seen any of your other problems.
