2. The list of available scientists does not refresh if the research panel is open when a new one is given to you. Refresh All does not seem to show it either - you have to close the window and open it agin for them to be displayed.
3. I am occasionally getting a graphics issue where the right hand third of the screen in the system map is just not displayed. It is as if there is just a blue rectangle the same shade as the background on top of the map image which cuts off orbit paths, text, etc. This only seems to happen if you minimise the application and then reopen it, but once it has happened there seems to be no way of getting rid of it apart from closing the entire application and reopening. Closing/refreshing the system map, changing systems etc. doesn't help. (interestingly, while this is happening nebula systems appear to be unaffected and display properly). I am guessing the workaround for this is 'don't minimise the game'
4. I appear to have just come across a system where two NPRs are blowing pieces off each other. While this is happening, almost every 5 sec turn I am getting the following error (sometimes multiple times per turn):
Error in ApplyShapedDamage
Error 3265 was generated by DAO.Fields

I think this may be being caused by a beam weapon? I have seen a number of missile explosions in the system during the combat, but whenever this error is displayed, there don't seem to be any except occasional power system secondary explosions.
Unfortunately this means I cannot stick it on auto turn and let it run through their combat, as it stops whenever an error is displayed.
EDIT: I think one of the races involved was the swarm as I just sent a scout over to investigate and one of them has the 336/100 sensor that I think the mother normally has?
2. The only thing I've seen that required a close/re-open of the F2 window was the 'researched-ground-units-not-showing-in-GU-training' bug. Everything else, I can do within the window.
Research labs not showing as free because I used a day increment on the F3 screen? Double click on the colony, or change colony twice and they reappear. (oddly enough, increment from F2 screen didn't have htis issue.) Doing this also fixes the production not reflecting actual, shipyards not updating when they change, etc.
Scientists not showing up after completing research? Go to another research subject and back again.
3. Reported elsewhere, but seems to occur when resolution changes (happens a lot when i undock my laptop)
4. Same issue I got when i started my first 5.5 game. That's been deleted now, because it never stopped for me after closing about 150 of those error boxes.
