Research completion bug when 2 items are done on the same turn

from Stardock Forums
Brad,

When two research items are completed at the same time (one through the research anomaly), there is a bug that causes the animation to be stuck as the top window, and you can't get rid of it (the MP3 also keeps playing). The function keys work, but any windows called up remain behind the animation. I am enclosing a saved game. All you have to do is send the starhawk into the anomaly, go into the research screen to change the next tech to Advanced Repair, then hit Turn. I emailed you a saved game.

it also happens when you steal a tech on the same turn and finish one at the same time. then you have to use the esc key to toggle netween the menu and continue game to find where the done or next button is hidden. Stardock knows about this. I think it's high on their list of things to do.

Louie,

The "research complete" screen came up normally at first (with the DONE button). When DONE was pressed, the screen disappeared for a split second, then a partial version of the same screen came up again, without the DONE button.

I hit ESC and every other key, but could not regain control. I saw a DONE button come up when ESC was pressed, but clicking on it did not do anything.

This has been reported a few times.

What appears to be happening is that the game isn't switching to the second tech you gained when the second research complete screen comes up, so it thinks that there's still anoter research complete screen it needs to display, and ends up in an infinite loop.
