iPhoto Woes

Hey all, i was wondering if I could get a touch of help with iPhoto.
I have got a bunch of empty frames lying around, and have finally decided to look through my photo collection to fill them. I have been using iPhoto to keep things organized, and it seemed to be working fine for a little bit of editing (blemishes etc) i wanted to do as i imported the photos.
But now im trying to alter some images, change their size, and so i thought i might crop. But after a while I realize i just want to resize the photos. Since i can't figure out how to do that I choose to "cancel" and not "apply" the cropping fields I had set up. For some inexplicable reason it goes a head and does it anyway. That's fine, I can reverse that. And I do. I make a duplicate of the original, touch up some blemishes, and THATS it. I hit Done. The photo is resized.
???
It has been made into an ugly square, and i hadn't set any cropping parameters. I try to "revert to original" and the blemish editing has been reversed, but the image stays the same proportions.
This happens the 5 times i try to edit a duplicate.
So i try just doing it on the the original. Same thing happens. I try to revert, but the size is still cropped. I dig up the original file, and that has been cropped in the same way.
WTF? Seriously, why the hell is iPhoto cropping my photos when im not asking it to?! I *might* have another copy of that photo somewhere, but this is insane!

Yes, this is a very irritating bug and it affects more than just crop. The solution for now is to always hit done and avoid the back/forward arrows on the edit screen.
