LB 12.11: Trouble creating new platform & importing games (it's loosing the scrape as-value and downloading wrong coverart)

I hope someone can help me and reproduce this. LB-Version is 12.11.

This is the platform I create. I give it a name and under "Scrape As" I choose "Super Nintendo Entertainment System".

Then I choose my Emulator & Core (don't worry about the RA-version, it's the latest one, I just messed up the name)

I leave the files in their current location

The last two are not really important, just for completion. Now it downloads the metadata, covers etc.! So far so good.

I noticed a lot of wrong coverart (some are for xbox, gba etc.) and EmuMovies was totally ignored and skipped (without a message, it just does not try to download any videos) Then I checked "edit platform" and noticed that there's no more "scrape as" and no metadata about the system at all.

The dropdown-menu is empty. I'm really desperate and don't know what to do. Thanks for any help.

Thanks alot for your reply. I read about the issue in the changelog, that's why I double checked my version before posting the issue (should have mentioned that). It's really 12.11.

Man can hope... lol. Means I'll need to review the changes and see if I can figure out why your system is stilling having issues with that.

UPDATE: I tried the 12.12 beta 2 and it's SLIGHTLY better. At least I can set "scrape as" after importing, so I import only one game to create the platform, then I change "scrape as" and use "tools -> scan for added roms". One of the downsides is, that the system information is empty. I read somewhere on the forum that there's currently no other way (if something goes wrong while importing, like in this case) as to fill those fields manually. Wouldn't it be nice if LB would always auto fill the fields (see screenshot) depending on what is set under "scrape as"? Just a suggestion.
