Let us have a look what hides beneath the surface of our neighbor, shall we?

As always, you can see the time in your timezone in the left sidebar. You can visit the stream over at YouTube if you wish to participate in the chat.

In this session, I'll play with trains. We'll lock at creating the track, as well as create a nice railroad car suitable for a battlemap.

Both of those are normal, if not immediately intuitive behavior.

For the top one, notice those three are not symbols, they are drawing tools. Now, drawing tools only work properly in a map of the style they were designed for, and you seem to have a Mike Schley symbol catalog open, but your map is a CC3 Standard Overland. Since the appropriate fill styles (Mike Schley in this case) , the tools default to showing the currently selected FS instead of their configured one, since it can't display something that doesn't exist. If you want to use those tools in that map style, you must first import the appropriate fill styles.

The second is down to how CC3+ identifies symbols in a map. Basically, it uses the name as a unique identifier, and if you place a symbol that already exists in a map, it will use the existing symbol. In this case, a compass rose with that name already exists in the map, so it uses the current one instead of the one from the symbol catalog (This is again down to using the wrong symbol style for the style of your map). You can fix this by either deleting the old compass rose from the map first using symbol manager to remove the definition, or you can rename it, also in the symbol manager, and then the names won't conflict, and attempting to insert the new one will work. Of course, this is only needed for symbols where the names collide.

Of course, considering your map isn't a Mike Schley one, my guess is that you just opened up the wrong catalog? You'll probably be wanting to use those that match the style of your map.

To start with the basics, you're probably not wanting to use the Symbol fill at all. It is a very ancient way of filling with symbols, and only gives a very regular pattern. You're probably want to use Draw -> Symbols in Area instead.

Not sure about the crashing, but I am able to reproduce it, so I'll bring it to the attention of the developer. But this fill type is likely to go away in the future, so a fix is likely to be lower priority.
