@mwblythe: I've been there. And sometimes, even good strategy fails. (Time Machine and APFS aren't buddies, let me say!). Hopefully Serif will terminate these bugs and we'll all be crushing it on 1.7 soon. Best of luck!
If OP is on a iMac Pro.. then this issue is not *me* . I've rolled back to 1.6.7. 1.7 release was just slow in Zooming images in the main window, selecting (soloing?) individual layers with CMD-Click (then it would eventually stop working all-together and just display a checkerboard). These files are 20 or so layers with efx that 1.6 deals with with no issues .
I'm gonna just lurk now and wait until a new updated .01 release is available. This one isn't ready for primetime, I'm afraid.
