Updated arrange feature problematic, freezes, rotates pieces vertically

Recent changes to the arrange feature were welcomed with open arms i love the ability to disable the  auto preview.  Now I am having several issues with it.

 

1. If I hit the preview button it will lock up fusion and I will have to use task manger to close the program, I have let it sit for an hour multiple times and it stays locked up.

 

2.If I bypass the preview function and just arrange the components it will lock up some times also.

 

3. prior to the update I had rare occurrences that it would rotate the objects vertically instead of keeping them flat.  I would have to delete the file and start over with my arrangement and it would resolve it.  Now it is happening about every other time I use it.  Its been a busy weekend trying to create files for new orders and this has been a pain.   I have attached an example file, I understand that there is/was an advanced arrange beta that could control component rotation by axis but i do not have that turned on as I don't plan to pay the fee for it.

 

Am I doing something wrong or is this update flawed?

According to the model you attached, you are selecting the wrong face, of each component being arranged.  Take a look at the Screencast and see what I am seeing.  I also used the Auto Preview option without incident.  I will agree I only did it five times and not a complete day worth of work but I do not see any issues.

Thank you that was it, has also seemed to make the freezing go away.

 

I did not know that selecting a face could cause and issue as my work flow is me selecting multiple pieces at a time.  my normal work flow is to create the stock size, save, import a component, then use the pattern feature to duplicate the component multiple times, then I drag a box around the patterned components and go into arrange.  Never thought that fusion would select edges randomly.  Sometimes I have 100 components.
