I have two separate problems with the Crop tool. The first is that the crop preview does not match the what shows up after I exit crop mode.

Screen shot of to the preview: tinyurl.com/o9qxcy
After hitting "done": tinyurl.com/prtsrw

What is really strange is that I can work around this by expanding the crop size to almost the full size (less ~1 pixel off the bottom) and iMovie crops to the width of the original clip. If I expand it to full size of the preview area the crop still slices to the width, but it is then centered.

The second problem is that cropping will not let me expand the crop beyond a certain size. I have no work-around for this.

Both of these happen both the project area and the clips drawer.
