Titles reset and/or move after Quit

I haven't been able to find another person having this same issue in this or other forums, so I'm hoping someone can help.


Most of the titles I create in my project will shift position or completely reset after I quit and reopen my FCP X project. For example, I will use a default Title from the Titles Browser, adjust the position and change the text. When I come back to work after restarting FCP X, the Title will have moved or reverted to the default text "Title".


It does not happen to all of the titles in my project. I have tried it with default titles and custom titles built in Motion 5. All cause problems; I haven't found a pattern. The only error I can reproduce is that a few of the titles in my project will have changed when I reopen, every time.


One thing to note is that I will make other edits to the project after making changes to the titles and those changes "stick". Adding clips, making edits, etc. It is just the titles that are giving me headaches. It seems like the changes to my titles are just not being acknowledged by FCP X.


Is anybody else having this type of issue?


I am running Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5 on Lion 10.7.1. The project I am working on came from the same software running on Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I remember having the same issue before the Lion upgrade, so I think it is a Final Cut issue. I have never had a previous version of Final Cut or Motion, so I don't think there are any legacy issues like some other people on the forums.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.1), 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7

Having the same issue, it definitely stems from altering the paragraph bounding box created in the original Motion 5 project. Since I don't have the luxury of conforming my text to the original bounding box, my only current workaround is fixing the titles exporting my work before closing FCPX. This is a MAJOR issue, and needs some Apple love ASAP.
