Party Invite Bug

I just installed crossover 12 on my friends MBP and I got dota 2 running pretty decent. One bug we are experiencing is when I send him a party invite the game will minimize to desktop. When we try to open it up again we get a black screen and the game won't open up again.

After force quitting steam and dota 2 and re-running it the invite does show up, though. It is playable but kind of annoying. Any one else having this problem?

thanks,

E

I have the same issue, however it minimizes back to desktop for any kind of message i get via steam. Must be the same thing with group invites as it opens a chat window. Running on Crossover 12, Mac 10.8.2.
I'm still messing around with settings to try and get this out of the way.

Does it still happen if you disable the overlay ?

How to Disable Steam Overlay

Yes, i tried disabling everything related to steam community and messaging system, none of these fix it.

Found a "fix", in the chat settings chose to open a new tab instead of a new window for the new chats. Then once in game, shift tab to the in game community and open a chat window by clicking on send message in the friends options found by clicking the little arrow that appears on the right of names when hovering the mouse over them and send a message to someone. It'll tab out of the game but go back in if in menu screen you shouldn't have any chances of crashing. Simply leave the window open and shift tab back in!
No more bugs with steam messages or party invites from friends :)
