Are you using the '/PORTABLE' command line option with either or both IDE versions? If not, my guess is that both IDEs may be updating the preference or settings file and that is causing issues. If you use the '/PORTABLE' it will create a preferences file in the directory of the IDE executable and use that.

It seem the problem is Mac OS only. Tested on Windows -> no problems
