Common? No, not like what you are describing.

You should address the points Mac is making.

The right-click, play from measure works fine here. If you do this without first having played the song, it will take a few seconds to generate the parts and you will see the hourglass. This is particularly true if you specify a chorus other than 1 (you did not say which one you normally specify). Are you seeing the hourglass before it crashes?

Also, "crash" needs to be defined clearly. There are crashes, and there are "hangs". I wonder if yours is a hang, waiting for your hard drive to spin up and load the RealTracks. If you wait a minute, does it recover? Have you defragged the hard drive lately?
