When I press the enter key at the tech selection screen several times so it toggles between "Show us the big picture" and the Tech advisor screen and finally escape out I am left with a unit that will not end it's turn or allow it self to be deleted. The only way to end the turn is to shift-enter. Attached is a save:

Attached are my initial save and a save shortly after that that shows the scout unable to end his turn.

This happens because I sometimes get impatient between turns and hit the enter key because there is nothing happening for me for few turns until a unit is built...

...For some strange reason the file attach doesn't work like I remember. I can't attach the files to the post. When I figure out how to do this I will post the saves....

...Admin : you need to add ".CivWarlordsSave" to the valid upload list. In the mean time just rename the extension of the files from .Civ4SavedGame to .CivWarlordsSave
 
What exactly do I have to do to reproduce the problem from the save?
It doesn't seem to happen for me.
 
Hit the enter key three or four times when the tech screen comes up, so that it switches between the tech screen and the "show us the big picture". Don't select a tech and make sure your mouse is not hovering over a tech. After I do it several times I will stop by hitting ESC and go back to the game. Then whatever unit you select will not be able to end the turn. You can force the
turn to end (Ctrl-Enter?), but on the next turn you cannot progress the turn by pressing enter.

Or, I do the same thing three or four times and then select a tech. That turn ends fine, but the next turn does the same thing. In both cases I can select units, manage cities and do everything I normally can, except hitting <Enter> does not end the turn.

The prometheus save should have the problem already. Select the scout and try to end the turn. In my case it will not end (the scout has a red circle around him). The autosave is at the beginning of the same game. I believe a few turns before. If I do not do what I show above, the game will play fine; and the error only happens as noted above.

The only common thing I can see is there may be an error caused escaping out of the tech chooser screen. If the prometheus save does not reporduce the error, since on my machine it already has it, then it may be machine specific.

On my install, I did vanilla Civ and then warlords without going through the normal patch process. If that matters.
