[Crash?!][BUG] Unresponsive image without flaps

I don't think the image is dead; but it certainly takes a while to come up.
It appears that after turning off global flaps they get recreated from
PasteUpMorph>>addGlobalFlaps (why this should happen I have no idea).

And ... by the way, I just had a very unpleasant hard crash when trying to
turn off global flaps and then enter a new project. Is anyone able to
reproduce this problem?!

Cheers,
