What version are you running and what platform? I'm on 0.9.3 from about 6 months ago on win7 pro and don't see either problem. As well my directories are in my documents (so that upgrades to the Fritzing directories don't affect them). I'd be tempted to try a redownload and reinstall the code to see if you have a corrupted download although I haven't heard any reports of that either.
