Oct 9, 2013 11:00 PM in response to MacGuidoby léonie,Guido, I have never seen this happen.
But to be able to experiment and to try to reproduce the problem, it would help to know your exact Aperture version and MacOS X version.
And what are your settings in Aperture? Have you "Quick Preview" enabled in the "View" menu? Ar you using full screen mode?
Have you set Aperture to share previews?
For trouble shooting this issue I'd start by testing if this problem is specific to your current user library. Does it also happen in new test libraries? If not, I'd run the Aperture Library First Aid Tools, see: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual

thanks for your reply.
To answer your questions:
OSX 10.8.5
Aperture 3.4.5
No full screen mode when editing.
Share previews is turned off.
Quick preview is 1920x1920, preview quality 8 medium.
Does not happen in new test library.
I tried repairing and rebuilding the library with no success.
I want to try trashing the library cache folder, but cannot find it, the path should be user/library/caches.
Any ideas?

Your User Library is hidden by default in 10.7.x or later - to open it in a Finder window use the "Go" menu from the Finder's main menu bar.
- Quit Aperture, if it is running. Log off and on again.
- Open the user library by using the Finder's "Go > Go to Folder" menu and hold down the options-key, until "Library" appears in the drop down menu. Select it.
- In the widow that will open, scroll down to "Preferences"
- From the "Preferences" folder remove "com.apple.Aperture.plist".
- Do the same for the mirrored items in "Caches".
Then try to launch Aperture again.
But deleting the "Preferences" file will cause Aperture to forget the preferences settings. Be prepared to have to reset all options you set using the Aperture Preferences panel.
However, before starting to trash Preferences, check, if the problem is unique to your user account. If you log into a different user account (for example, the guest account) and launch Aperture there, do you see the same strange behaviour? Then deleting User preferences will not help at all. In that case reinstall Aperture. See Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
If however the problem is not system wide and only occurs in your account, tr, if removing any presets from "your user library > Application Support > Aperture" will make a difference
