Prores Proxy and Multiclip

Just got FCS3 last night, upgrade from 2 and I don't seem to be able to play back all the angles in a multiclip that was captured as Prores Proxy. I have had no problems in the past with SD or even Offline RT, so I wondered if Prores Proxy will not play back all the angles in a multiclip, or if I have something wrong. when I play the viewer, it shows only the selected angle, when you stop it shows the quad. Also the RT menu on the timeline does not have all the options in a proxy sequence that it does with others. I'm sure that's normal, but it made me wonder if this is just a case of "it doesn't do that..."

This was using a firewire 400 drive (Western Digital) on a macbook pro w 4gig ram and 10.5.8 installed. I wondered about drive speed and all, but in the past when it couldn't make it work (say with DVCPRO HD) what would happen is the image would go for a few seconds, audio would continue and then the image would stop. This is playing the image smoothly, it looks great in fact, it just won't show me all four playing at once. The difference in the RT drop down menu made me wonder if it is just a prores proxy thing...

A little more info... I made a new sequence that did not match the clip settings and the choices all came back in the RT menu. I dropped the multiclip into that sequence, it of course then needed to be rendered, but afterwards, the viewer would at least play the quad choppy. But if the sequence is set to match the clips to avoid rendering, it still does the same thing, showing only one clip while playing and showing all four when stopped.
