Strange GUI Behavior

After about 4-5 hours of continuous play. The following problems crop up.
Purchasing units
First unit is purchased purchase button in purchase screen disapears even though points are left the toggle unit type bar also disapears. However if I exit to another dialouge for instance diplomacy then re enter purchase the I may then purchase one more unit. Same type of thing with other screens like fleet. It seems that whatever the last action I have taken is I have to go to diplomacy then back to the screen like fleet to get the unload button to disapear if that is the last thing I used in the fleet screen. Guess it would be easier to reboot the game but heck at 4am if i turn it off i won't turn it back on. hmm is this maybe a safety feature;^)?

I have seen behavior like this, and since I am on the beta test team I have entered a ticket on it.  I did not happen upon your switch dialog method to work around it.  Good catch!
 
I looked at your webpage, and it is always nice to see a community of gamers getting together.

We will check into it, however, over 4 hours of continous playing for developer is a long one :)

Good in as much as it's nice that someone else is getting the same thing. So that I know I am not hallucinating or just doing something dumb that I am missing.

Glad somebody is looking. I should update more often. Thanks for mentioning it!

Yeah I think this is one of those cases where it is probably sufficient to post in a "known Bugs and work arrounds" FAQ/ Read me file.
