Hey,

I've recently noticed that my Macbook Pro has problems restarting, the only time I need to restart is when I have it mounted in my HengeDock. What happens is it starts to shutdown like normal then it goes to a blank white screen with the spinning load indicator and stays there for a very long time (maybe indefinitely)

I haven't yet tested rebooting outside of the dock, as I usually just put it to sleep when I am home so it's not something I ever really do unless I am at the office.

If I pull my mac out of the dock, while it's stuck on the white screen then open my mbp up the screen stays black unless I hold the power button and do a hard reset then it boots normally.

Can anyone using a hengedock replicate this issue, do you even see a white screen when rebooting? and if so.. how long does it take for yours to restart?

It's possible that I am too impatient, but it shouldn't take 4-5 minutes to do a simple reboot (I've left for a few minutes after the white screen appears to finish a service call and returned to the same screen) I can do a video of the process if needed so it's much more clear.
