Edit UVW: Some polygons disapear after break some adjacent edges

Hello everybody, this is my first post and i hope receive some answer before my license expire. I think my issue is pretty simple but i can't solve it after have been looking for this in some many posts.

My issue is, when i break som edge, some adjacent polygons disapear, but are there, just not showing.

I have made some sreenshots in order to explaine myself.

-In the first one, help1.png, i show you that when i select all polygons with red i can see all polygons, but when is unselected i can't see some of them.

-In the second one, help2.png i break some edges using break tool of edit UVWs to show you what happens next.

-Now i click on Quick peel of Peel panel, and in the third screenshot you can see what happens with a simple break. In the last screenshot help3.png you can see when all polygons are selected seems like break works perfectly, but when are unselected you can see the truly result, i cant understand what is happening there.

Thats my issue, just I don't know what I'm doing wrong to this happens. Also I must say that I have been working like this in the entire model before this issue, and I didn't had any problem like that, maybe is some configuration I change by mistake.

Say also that, my model has few elements, and this is one of them, i dint break it by parts, just made a Quick peel and started to use break and point to point seams some edges alterning UV Editor and peel panel of Unwrap UVW.

I will be waitting some answer, thanks to everybody for read me, and sorry for my English.

I haven't seen this issue happening and I can't imagine a setting that could cause this (except ID-visibility, but it's set correctly on the screenshots).
What would I do?
Restart Max. Check model. Collapse the UVW-Unwrap-modifier and apply a new one. Check model. Import-->Merge model into new scene. Check model. Look for 3dsMax-Update I might have missed and check for new GraphicsCard-drivers. Check model. Detach elements to single objects, unwrap them one-by-one before attaching them again and layout all UVs.

I solved it just by collapsing the UVW-Unwrap and applying a new one. After that i had not this issue again. Thanks for your answer.
