Endless Please Wait (Bug?)

Question

I am using v1.0.1.383.

I am playing my first game on this version.

When I hit End Turn; a few times sporatocally, the game freezes with the game button saying Please Wait. This game button is the one I click to End Turn.

Hoving the mouse over Please Wait says waiting for human players to complete their turn (sic).

I can move the mouse and move the map around, nothing else. I have tried waiting a long time. And I cannot click on the game button to push it along.

I currently solve the issue by loading the last autosave. When I do this, the game mostly as normal so it seems to be a random problem. However, this last time it has occured twice in a row.

I wonder if it is connected to the feature where when you click end turn, that there still is a unit to move and once moved the end turn automatically happens.

Is this a known issue?

Is there anything that can be done to either avoid the issue with settings, or workaround it without reloading the last auto save and re-doing all my movements?

thanks

Additional
It is a single player game
Have waited a long time. I.e., gone up the road to buy milk.
Have gone into Strategic mode and back out.
Have gone into different screens and back out.

Additional (workaround)
Current workaround: Save and load while this is happening which also helps not to redo moves. (F11 Quick Save & F12 Quick Load)

Answer

I've been noticing a bug in the latest version (1.0.1.383) where it will say Please Wait and mousing over it says that it is waiting for other human players (despite this being a single player game)! What I've discovered is that there has always been one of my units waiting for orders, and if I find that unit and give it an order, it will then progress to the next turn. So it seems like it should be telling me to jump to that unit, but is saying Please Wait instead. I'd check your units and see if you are encountering a similar issue.

Update: I found this thread that contains an acknowledgment from a Firaxis Producer that they are aware of this issue and that a hotfix should be coming soon. It also contains some useful workarounds

As was said previously by others, the "Please Wait" bug is certainly annoying, but there's reasonable workarounds.

1) Press the "." key to cycle to the next unit. (Also, the "," key cycles to the previous unit). I remember the keys by looking at their shift function keys "<" and ">".

2) Go to the unit list and look for any unit that has a yellow circle and is still waiting for commands.

3) Select any of your units within your view and then click on the white triangle pointing towards the right (the left will probably work too) within the unit's portrait menu in the lower left corner. This is the interface's manual unit cycling using the mouse.
