Had a similar issue recently. There was a model containing the scene lights and after I put the lights on the scene root and got rid of the model, everything was more stable, not totally though.
Sometimes helps maximizing a view and switching to an explorer before switching passes. Not fun I know, but at least less annoying than having to launch soft again and opening the scene again, especially if it's a heavy scene and takes long to load.
