Random railing removal in edit mode, and related support beam sadness

Having some strangeness pop up during my latest floating POI build which is causing me quite a bit of frustration. I've put down a crude stone foundation and started my build upwards. I like to start off with railings for safety so I don't fall off during construction. Sometimes I have to go back and try to put another support structure on top of the foundation like a pillar or an arch, but then decide to get rid of it in favour of something more decorative. When I use the Delete keybind to remove a pillar or archway, however, the RAILINGS sometimes disappear that are 1-2 tiles away. Very strange. I wasn't touching the railings. I wasn't even aiming or looking at them, but it seems that 2-3 railings will just randomly disappear.

Second half of this is that I SWEAR I have a larger base built this time around, but I am only able to craft a much smaller upper level than I did pre-0.5. I'm not sure how this is possible. The railings used to be able to have the extended Bhutan bay windows overlayed, but I can't seem to find a single place I can fit them now. I'm so confused right now, and quite frustrated with this build to the point that I want to destroy the whole base and start over.

Riding on the tails of this, the game is trolling me with happy Green outlines when I try to place extra supports / arches / pillars, but then won't actually lock in the wireframe to build it. About to nuke it from orbit at this point. It's the only way to be sure.

    Here's a screenshot showing the green outline for a window piece that I am unable to build. I click to place and it goes away. Wireframe disappears.

    Adding some details.

    I loaded up my old char / build in pre 0.5 and took a run around my sky palace taking pics. I started the old base build on a floating POI with a SINGLE foundation square, and built up from that. The build resembled an inverted pyramid.

    The new base build started with FIVE foundation squares and still ends up smaller because of the lack of support and inability to build out past the foundation base, even with arches and pillars and walls.
