snapshot acting funny in 6.6.2 (rc 3)

Also: I’m on OSX 10.9.2
I’ll make a test stack to duplicate the problem, then file a bug report if it behaves the sam.

So what I’m wondering is if I’ve done something wrong, and 6.6.2 has different timing, or what I might do to make this work in 6.6.2. Or, could it be a bug? I set the wait time prior to doing the snapshot to 1 second, and it made no difference.
