I've never told that the new lighting tools, such as all the new features of Bryce 7 pro, are software bugs. They are just slow to render. Very very slow.
Bugs are others such as usual crashes on the instacing lab use and/or the many crashes during the normal use of the software. Also the HDRI illumination does not work properly.
Anyway I'm new to Bryce 7 pro, and as you say I must have the time to explore all the new features.
