CrossOver (12) problem with bottles with experimental Mac Windows Bypass

When CrossOver 12 starts up, ~2 wineloader tasks per bottle are started. I take it these are for the scan at the beginning.

About 2 times out of 3, the bottle with the experimental Mac Windows Bypass turned on never finishes scanning (I have waited for up to ~30 mins) and when I quit CrossOver ~2 to 5 or 6 wineloader tasks stay "active" (they still show up in the Activity Monitor but they barely use any resources). When I restart and quit CrossOver again, it often but not always ends up quitting those wineloader tasks as well.

While these tasks are in such a state, the bottle is unusuable.

I have the feeling but can't prove this that opening the Bottle Management window before the bottles are ready seems to provoke the problem.

edit to give CrossOver a version :)

I forwarded this to our ticket system - feel free to continue discussing here, but I think we want a bug about this if we can confirm the behavior.

I'll test this once I get my Mac back from my greedy wife!

Forgot to say, this is on a MacPro, os x !0.8.2 using a Radeon HD 5870 (if that matters at all here)

ditto here. macbook pro 4,1 - nvidia geforce gt 330m - mac os x v10.8.2

actually, very very very long scanning delays here on bottles (win98) with the experimental driver disabled as well.

Josh, it may be a coincidence, but I find it curious that the two advocates who've posted specs in this thread are both running os x 10.8.2 and could be on the bleeding edge.

In Snow Leopard, I'm trying out an app: Initially, its window flickers continuously, is translucent (my desktop can be seen behind the app's window) and moves erratically when dragged. I've never seen that before.

If I start the app with "Enable experimental Mac Driver" checked, none of the misbehavior occurs.
