shapes become broke

DMLeone

I am trying to place a rectangle pad and associating it with a certain net. every time i place it though after i select done, the shape becomes broken and registers as an out of date shape. so i have to go into display, turn everything off, expose it with boundary, select the shape using shape->select shape and delete it. otherwise i cannot delete it. why does it do this? why is it not just place a copper pad?

not only that, but if i try and place the pad ont he top layer it doesnt care and it places the broken box on the bottom layer
