Images set to drawing

I have been having some issues with when I exit and then log back in again, the layers of my art being out of order. These are usually only minor problems, but in many cases, I am unable to select a large portion of the images. I checked every layer and I was unable to edit or move them. After logging out and logging back in a couple of times, I found that I could eventually not touch anything at all. After messing around, I found that using the Clear Drawings tool removed every image I had placed on the map, even though I never set any of the images as drawings. I tried repeating this process of logging off and on a couple of times and I ran into the same problem. I verified that all of the tiles were drawings by using the drawing select tool. They were indeed drawings and I highlighted them and set them to not be drawings. This process is tedious and it would be nice if it didn't happen almost every single time I close the campaign editor. Is there something I'm doing wrong (or just being ignorant about) that could be causing this? Thanks!
After examining this problem further, I found that most of the problem is my fault. However, there is an interesting thing that I found that may or may not be intentional. When I was copying and pasting some objects, I placed the objects when my cursor was in the Select/Move mode. However, later, I was testing out some drawing tools and I left my cursor on the Drawing Select mode. From then on, even though I copied items that were not drawings, because my cursor was in drawing mode, it made the objects that I pasted drawings. The main reason I got tripped up is because it's really easy to mix the two modes up because the cursor looks exactly the same. I don't see any need to change that though. Just a heads up about the pasting thing in case it wasn't intentional (or if it was, maybe it should be put in the drawing part of the documentation. I have been stuck on this for a really long time.) Thanks for all of your hard work! You're doing an awesome job of this!
Thanks for the feedback; I'm glad that you got everything worked out. The documentation could definitely use some work to make little things like this more readily apparent.
