You are not the only one. This is rather nasty. I reported sightings of 
the bug on 5 Apr 08  in thread "pcb: loosing the preview..."

Me too, I got loss of preview most frequently during placement of 
components. A readily identifiable sign of this state is if the red cross 
of the local origin is invisible. I can reliably regain preview if I 
toggle twice "lock-names" in the settings menu. 

My pcb is a recently compiled cvs head version compiled with GTK HID
