Bugs ruined my model
-
Long list of bugs that appeared after I exploded two groups and made them into one shape. Faces get extruded at an angle, even though all lines are straight. Faces sometimes can't get selected (instead, backfaces are selected). Hidden lines pop up and triangulate faces for no reason; and a bunch of other random stuff that are hard to put into words.

I don't see any bugs. The circle scales fine for me and the faces Push/Pull just fine. I think you need to be more specific about what isn't working.
A couple of things that you might find useful are to increase Precision and turn off length snapping.

Ok. It's a mess only when I use it (sketchup 7). The number one issue i'm having are duplicate faces. I push a face until it hits the opposite surface, but instead of disappearing and leaving an empty sliced area, it leaves two faces for whatever reason. Like in these screenshots. The second images are what the they look like after I pushed a face in the opposite direction.
Also, i get this on some faces but not all. Keep in mind that the face is flat. Doesn't triangulate completely, only shows those lines when i resize some objects. Never seen it before.
And I get many 'an error occurred. Would you like to fix it?' warnings. I tried removing parts of my model and rebuilding them but these core issues persist. I don't use plugins.

From what I could see, the only problems appeared to be with the way the model was drawn. As I wrote before, increase Precision and turn off Length Snapping.
Why don't you upgrade to the current version of SketchUp. Claiming there are bugs and expecting fixes on a version that is no longer supported is unrealistic.

Why do you think this is a problem? The lines disappear when you release the mouse button...

I wish you would change your Sketchup skill level to at least intermediate, you are far from a beginner and answers can be different if people think you don't know what you are doing.
Since you removed the link to your model I'm only guessing, but it sounds like one of your groups was every so slightly rotated off the axis so when you exploded and combined them some faces became slightly skewed. Getting the triangulation that goes away suggests that.

Thanks everyone. Since Dave originally said he did not see anything wrong with the sample model then I assumed that my Sketchup 7 is also if not entirely to blame, so I removed the skp file. I eventually isolated the places that were generating problems and remade most of the model from scratch.
