Issues with mine Schley's great peak 2

I'm trying a new continent idea, in Mike Schley's style. It's going pretty good, so far except for one problem. I've set up my mountain range with the mountain back, and I'm placing my mountains. This particular mountain range is on the coat...sort of coastal cliff range. I was using the great peak sc1, no problems, but there are only two of them, so I switched to great peak 2, the one with the clouds.
I was at the edge of my coastline, I'm supposed to be going from left to right, so I changed to the lrg mountains, and started back at the left. As soon as I placed smaller mountains in front of the Great peak 2 mountains, my gp2 mountains jumped BEHIND my land mass! I tried setting them to front, no go.
I ended up erasing every thing and started again same thing happened. I even quit the program without saving and came back to it later, it happened again. Always with the great peak 2 mountain, and ONLY with that mountain. Can anyone tell me why? And more importantly, how to stop it?

The easiest workaround is to manually set your sheet to SYMBOLS before placing this symbol. Since it doesn't have force sheet set, it will always go to the current sheet.
Also remember that if you have already placed a symbol that ends up on the wrong sheet, you can always just use Change Properties on it, and just put it on the correct sheet.
To permanently fix it, you must open up the symbol catalog for editing (Open it up in the main program as if it was a map), then go to Symbols -> Symbol manager, scroll down and find the symbol in the symbol manager, select it and click Options, and in the option box that opens, enable 'Force Sheet' and type SYMBOLS* into the text field there. OK your ways out of all the dialogs, then save. Do note that symbol definitions are copied to the map on first use, so this will only fix the symbolfor future maps, and maps where you have not attempted to use this symbol at all.
I knew of the bug, but did not know what was causing it or how to fix it.
