I do get the distortion when I zoom out again. Seems like I'm forever restoring the Director's camera. At least the views are "sticky" now. I remember the hell of Carrara2 where every time you changed windows the cameras you had been using reset. I've never had the "selected wrong face" but I do set a lot of a mesh to invisible before trying to work. You get too close, and you start seeing the wrong surface through the mesh facing you, and it gets confusing.
