- I will look into the spinning wheel issue thinking it ran already.
- I am going to set a better "view" of what is currently running with a little more detail, perhaps with the bottom status label. I think for some of the Once-A-Day Dailies bot tasks you checked to run, sometimes it may be working away in the background without telling the user with something in the status label. So you may think it's not doing something but it is. You can also see the "delay" label, if it's changing still then it's still running. Red means it is processing a page visit with the delayed time before it turns green.
Although your situation sounds weird, I have never encountered any similar issues while running SC for over 4 years every day, and on both Windows machine & a MBP BootCamp Windows boot. Thank you though for the feedback!
