Question

Why does facetime hang up when I get another call on call waiting?!?!?

I love facetime, buy my one complaint is, when I get another call if I am in the middle of a facetime chat, it hangs up the facetime call completely. Just to ask if I want to accept or decline the new call. That's one bug that needs to be addressed.

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6)

no, if another call comes in, it will completely hang up the facetime call, and bring you to the incoming call screen and you can accept or decline. Even if you decline it does not resume the old call. You have to call the person back.

Not really a bug, it's an oversight of the design of the software. You have to turn off call waiting, if you don't want to be interrupted during FaceTime.

Interesting. If another call comes in are you saying that the call disconnects or just the fact that your video conference stops and you are now on regular voice?
