Thank you. I've looked at the 'Person' list in a new game in 2.5.7 beta, and it's just right!

This is still present. There's something bigger going wrong under the surface, but I don't know what. It needs addressing.
My apologies, I should have been more specific: the problems occur if you try to salvage the game by borrowing money, issuing shares, closing down firms, etc.
I've done some testing to try and help narrow down the problem.
The bankruptcy 'jamming/hanging' is, I think, caused by setting the 'Inflation'' option in the New Game Settings to 'Inverse'.
Set it to 'Inverse', and the game will get stuck when you go bankrupt and go back into the game by borrowing money. Even though my music slider is all the way off, the music will still play, time will not advance correctly, the mouse won't function in the game window correctly (keyboard shortcuts still work), and eventually the game 'unstucks' itself and goes back to normal.
Set inflation to anything other than 'Inverse', and I think bankruptcy works just fine. HOWEVER, I notice that the numeric keys (0-5) to set the game speed stop working after you go bankrupt, regardless of what game settings you use. You can change the speed just fine with the cursor, but after seeing the bankruptcy screen, the keys just won't change the speed anymore. The keys do, however, still work to navigate around the other menu options (like changing between products, corporations, firms, financials screens, etc.).
In fact, the whole shebang is now half-broken. The cursor won't even click on the menu items for products, persons, firms, financials, etc anymore. The key shortcuts still navigate me around, but the cursor won't click on any of them.
In fact in fact(!), the bankruptcy screen won't re-appear now. My cash is in the red ($1,714,822), game speed 5, and the bankruptcy screen won't re-appear.
My cash is now ($14 million) in the red. Several stock splits have occured with my company. Never seen that before. Interesting. The game still won't call me on bankruptcy a second time.
I'm sorry I can't provide more detailed testing on this. I assume there's something wonky under the hood, and you guys will now know enough to have an idea of what is causing these issues.
