I just updated to version 1.02 via the downloadable patch from version 0.981.
If I load up the Workshop - Faction Creator, I experience the same bug again and again. If I float the mouse cursor over a trait like "Archers" it switches to a greywindow with the trait's name at the top and nothing else. I'm usually stuck on that window for 10-20 seconds before it goes away. I may be hitting a key combo or just esc to make it go away but I'm not sure. This bug makes it impossible to select any traits.
I took a screen capture but I'm not sure where the attachments option is on the "new post" window here.
