I don't think Bare Bones can help, it does seem to be happening to quite a few people who have updated to 10.10.2 ... not everyone is experiencing the 'bug'. It worked in 10.10.1 but not working in 10.10.2 for many people.
You can file a Bug report to Apple as many have. <https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/using-bug-reporter/> How did you update did you use the Combo update or just Software Update?
