Agree.
Two things I like to add.
Research screens should be colour coded as mentioned in the opening post.
But I also want the Continue Civilization and the New Goal button to change places. Reason is, end turn button is on the right and usually all, ok buttons or yes or agree buttons are on the right too. And continue current research button is similar to those button, while the new goal button is similar to a no or disagree and change button.
Thus I choose the wrong one all the time.
