Eclipse - Force.com IDE Bug when selecting custom fields

I constantly run into an issue in the Force.com IDE when pulling down custom fields on standard objects (usually paired with custom objects as well).  Say I pull down 2 custom fields on the Account object and 2 complete custom objects into a new package with the Force.com IDE...

 

If I go back into the package and "Add/Remove Metadata Components", then I see that the contents of the package are correct in the list view, but once I select "Add/Remove" from the content view page, then the 2 Account fields are unchecked. This happens intermittently and is really annoying as it is easier to not notice with larger packages and you end up removing necessary fields.  It becomes a vicious cycle sometimes.  It seems if I cancel adding new metadata components and close Eclipse, then reopen and re-add, everything works as expected. 

 

Anyone else hit this?

I just tried again and the issue happens when adding another custom object to the package.  The standard object fields disappear

Still happens... nobody else sees this???!

 

I have a colleague who runs into this constantly also.
