Probs with Helix 1 & 2

Using a Motorola Droid.

I installed Helix 1 about a month ago and was loving it. Initially, I didn't remove any of the original widgets or icons before making Helix the default. About 2 weeks into using it I got a strange problem. With no predictable cause I suddenly would not be able to open a folder on the "desktop" and could only open it if I restarted Helix launcher. This would not affect other folders. I then uninstalled and tried Helix 2 and got a few FC's and the same problem showed up within a day.

I thought I read that widgets should be removed before using Helix, so I removed all widgets and every single icon and reinstalled Helix 1. The same problem occurred within a day.

I couldn't find anyone else reporting the same problem as this. I do get a few FC's now and then, but this is tolerable. Not being able to open a folder about 10 times per day and restarting Helix every time is not acceptable.

Any ideas as to a workaround or something I've done wrong?

Thanks in advance...been reading this forum for awhile but this is my first post!
