[BUG] UI gets stuck if you complete research and cast the spell of making on the same turn

from Elemental Forums

I happened to complete my current research target on the same turn that I cast the Spell of Making (and, perhaps incidentally, the same turn that Procipinee built the Iron Works).  The first time, I didn't get the victory scene: I got the popup for the Iron Works, and then the research notification and tree; the tree wouldn't go away no matter what I did (e.g., clicking "Cancel" or "Done" had no effect); I had to alt-tab out and kill the process.  I loaded my autosave and tried ending the turn again; this time I got the Iron Works popup, then the Spell of Making victory -- and after my victory screen and the screen showing where I was in the ranking, I returned to the main menu.  Except that the research panel popped up and, once again, wouldn't go away; I had to alt-tab and kill the process again.

It happened the same to me in my last game. The spell of Making was finished on the same turn than a research. In my case, the game got stuck in the UI of the tech research, and it did not response to the click in the button "done". I did not see the screen of the spell or any other thing. The game got freezed, I had to kill it too.

I reported this during the beta and it's been reported twice I think since 1.0 came out.  It doesn't only happen with the spell of making, any time you win the game on the same turn as your research finishes you have to kill the game.  Wish we could see some acknowledgement from the developers that it's on their list.
