Good afternoon Nigel

I also have these issues at times where it tries to load something and 
takes a very long time, sometimes bombing the application. It seems to, 
at times, get confused. What I have found sometimes alleviates the issue 
is to simply open another QGIS application instance and attempt to open 
the same project.
