Didn't see this one mentioned: Both the tutorial and the manual say the City screen will show circles arounds tiles that are being worked by a citizen. My city screens show no circles. There is a slight highliting of tiles in production.
 
Same for me. Although, I played the tutorial for about 90 minutes yesterday (until it crashed) and then started a normal game. The normal game seems to run faster, with smoother animations. I honestly havn't looked to see if the circles are in the regular game.
 
Hmm, I have circles. I didn't play the tutorial, though so maybe it's a bug specifically with the tutorial.
 
The blue circles appear prior to your selection of the task you wish the worker to perform. They disappear immediately after you make your selection and watch the workers move to the circled locations.
 
Not the blue circles, inside of the city menu, white circles are supposed to show which tiles are being worked. For me (in the tutorial at least), it doesn't. It shows the food and production icons as slightly bigger and less opaque (it's difficult to tell the difference really).
 
I had this problem too. I had my resolution at 1600x1200 (Nvidia 6600GT card), and didn't see any white circles. I thought it might be the resolution, so I ran the game today, loaded my save game, changed the resolution to 1280x1024; they were there. Changed the resolution back to 1600x1200; still there. Quit and reran (starting at 1600x1200), still there; quit and posted this message. The game I was playing was the tutorial, btw.

What resolution are you running at? Maybe try changing that, or exit and restart the game. For all I know, next time I run it they'll disappear again.

Hope any of this helps!
 
I had that problem too in the tutorial, but since starting proper games it seems to have gone away :)
 
I can confirm that this appears to be a problem only in the tutorial. I've plaed the tutorial twice, the single player game twice, and a LAN game once. Both runs through the tutorial lacked the white "working" circles; the two normal games and the LAN game both showed them correctly.
 
Yes...I have seen no white city working circles in the tutorial, but normal game is fine. I've also noticed the tutorial is 'slower/choppier'. Just start a "REAL" game after you finish the tut! Ghandi is lame!
