I just wanted to share with you my little error log of my feature film mixing session.
I think I've logged just about 50% of the errors I got during todays work with protools 12.

I believe I have a super clean system with an s6 m40. no wifi, no apps in parallel, plugins up to date. protools 12.7. I am also an admin for protools systems for nearly 15 years now too.

and really this is one of the best workdays I've had with PT 12 in the last weeks.

most annoying are the constant crashes and the unbelievable lags when editing with the mouse that started with 12. for example mouse clicks are registered on different spots. happens when fades are dragged etc... we have this on every machine here in the house. PT 10 was lightning fast in the edit window compared to 12 (in really big sessions)
