Bugs are my top priority when it comes to what needs to be dealt with, because they suck
. I drop whatever I'm doing and attack them on sight!
An alternative workaround for those who really want to check the world map (without restarting) would be to hit F2 to turn on the cursor before opening it. I just checked and simply reloading my test game
didn't restore the map to normal functionality (as I would expect given how it's implemented, so not sure what's different there, but anyway, it'll be fixed).
