I was curious and after several frustrating minutes, I see that the project eventually closes. It just takes a very long time.
The plugin is EZdrummer2. I can insert a new instance in a project and try to close the project with the same hang results. I know this is apples and oranges, but this does not happen with X3.
Also, the VST scanner hangs on the EZdrummer.dll file for several minutes. It eventually clears and the synth loads as expected in the projects without any functionality issues in the synth.
So as documented above, SONARPLT hangs and has to be closed down. I wonder if that info will do any good or not. I opened up a problem report.
It is beautiful outside and I think I used all my inspiration trying to troubleshoot this issue so I may go for a good bike ride. :)
