Bug: Symbol Factory Stroke Style breaks entire window

I've been noticing a bug in 8.1.38 Vision, but could never pinpoint the event that caused it. Now I have.

When you drag a symbol factory ISA symbol into a vision window, the stroke style default is usually 2, which is too heavy. So I always change the path elements stroke styles down to .5. As soon as you do this, you can no longer cut, copy, paste, or delete, ANY element on the window. The upper menu selection when you right click on any object is disabled. Pretty bizarre relation, but it is repeatable 100% of the time. The only way to recover, is to save, close the window, and re-open it. Then you can perform cuts/pastes/deletes as normal.

Not only is the menu disabled, but Delete, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-C and Ctrl-X don't work either.

Igntiion Bug

I've already seen this behavior in other cases, but I can't figure out how to reproduce it. Sometimes, you just can't cut or delete things.
