Here are several things I've noticed in my brief time playing with Beta 4:
1. I once created a flight path for my ship which intersected a ship of a neutral race. When my ship moved it moved into that other race's ship and I was prompted if I wanted to start a war. I said 'no', but the pop-up just came back over and over again. I had to say 'yes' and declare war, even though that is not what I would've liked. (Only happened once)
2. There's no corner scrolling on the map screen. Also, it seems that if any module is open (say, the planet/ship view), scroll is disabled on that side. Scroll also disabled on the bottom right where the mini-map is.
--Anyone else having this problem? Is it an intentional modification of scrolling?
3. I've also noticed that you can't click on the bottom edge of the mini-map next to the turn button without ending the turn. ( I haven't tested this in Beta 4, but I didn't see it in the change log either).
Here's my debug.err:
