Muse continuously crashing upon import of Edge elements.

Question

It will let me import the Edge Animate item, however as soon as I try to manipulate it (i.e. Right click, so that I can "Send to Back");  Muse freezes and shuts down.
This is the 3rd element within this project that has done this.  I've had a couple others that have finally slipped through (Have since deleted them, as they were just tests).
The instability is killing me!
I'm on Windows 7, using both Muse 2014 and Edge 2014.
Am I overlooking something?
I've tried renaming, re-publishing, etc etc.
Thank you!

Muse has a lot of room for improvement, but it is a very different application than Dreamweaver. The two are virtually opposites of each other in terms of philosophy.
Honestly, there is no "perfect" web design or web development application. I have a couple friends who still think Notepad is the best web site editor.
I expect Muse will eventually incorporate at least some responsive design capability. It would at least be nice for it to have some of the same functions as Edge Reflow, specifically the "breakpoint" features, along with some "liquid" layout functions. I have a feeling though that other features, like some of the scrolling effects functions, would be altered or broken under such an approach. Designers might be stuck with an either or choice over what visual tricks they'll have with a responsive approach versus others they'll have available to them in a fixed layout approach. Muse allows designers to create separate mobile and tablet layout versions of a web site design. I think they need to allow custom sizes to that, particularly to address large, high resolution computer monitors. Even responsive designs don't work very well on those things. Just about any web design looks either pretty empty or very pixelated on a 15 megapixel iMac monitor. We need more than just the 2x HiDPI setting (such as 1.5x and 3x).  Ultimately we're going to be stuck designing numerous versions of a web page to accommodate all the extreme differences in screen size/resolution as well as horizontal/vertical orientation. The computer and electronics industry seems to have no clue about settling on a consistent standard. They can't or won't even try to find a way to get phone users to hold their devices horizontally. It might be a good way to reduce the amount of horrible, ugly, stupid vertical video infecting the web right now.
