%%%Cloth Baking is not visible in viewport during calculation; it works but the user doesn't see what is going on until the end of baking. However changes are visible after playing animation (without baking) but these calculations tend to disappear after scrolling through timeline back and forward.

I'm using official 2.62, Windows XP 64 bit, 4GB RAM, NVIDIA 460 GTX%%%

%%%Having preview during baking can be helpful, but i'd wouldn't consider not having it a bug. Supporting such kind of stuff will imply locking some particular operators like topology changing, object deletion and plenty more of operators. And also it'll be needed to do some kind of syncronization stuff between main window and baking job. All this is possible but will lead to quite global changes in blender. Added a note about this in our TODO wiki http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Source/Development/Todo/Tools#Cloth

But resetting cache on timeline scribe seems a bit strange and i'm not sure why this happens. Daniel, can you please check this?%%%

%%%I think I need to clarify this resetting cache. It happens when entering Edit Mode or "grabbing" the object. Although none changes are made in Edit Mode and moving object is canceled by RMB the cache is lost. Perhaps it's something normal and should not be considered as a bug.

About calculations - it worked perfect in 2.49b (baked simulation was visible in viewport).%%%

%%%This changed in 2.5, baking now happens as a background job, you need to press alt+A manually to see results. If you edit the object while it is being baked then indeed that's going to give issues, would not consider that a bug.%%%
