I was very scared when this happened first time! I was moving two folders from one point to another. I do not remember if I moved the "move" operation to backgroud of if I used Queue from the begining. The sure thing is that when I got back to the computer I was stoned: the folders wasn't nor on the left nighter on the right!! I thougth I deleted them in my hurry but when I pressed TAB to jump to the destination and GOT OUT OF THE DIRECTORY AND ENTERED AGAIN the folders that I moved were there, where they should have been.
It happened twice. I will try to reproduce the situation and tell you the conditions.
I was using beta 11.
-Moving folders do not refresh the destination!

Sometimes Windows signals that the operation is complete although this isn't really the case. TC then refreshes the directory list, but nothing is there yet. You need to go to Configuration - Options - Refresh and enable the handling of refresh notifications (lower part of the dialog) so TC is informed about directory changes.

This doesn't matter if Windows signalled the completed operation too early - TC then refreshed BEFORE the file/folder appeared in the target directory. It didn't have a reason to refresh it afterwards.i got back to the computer after minutes after the moving was finished .. and the redraw did not happen
