[0.12.14] Technology Research button not working

After updating to 0.12.14 the 'Research' button in the Technology window isn't working anymore. Tried with two saves from 0.12.10 (one vanilla and one with bob's mods) and with a completely new game in 0.12.14.
System: Windows 8.1, AMD Radeon HD 8500M with 1GB VRAM, Intel i7, 6 GB RAM
Tried on second system, same problem: Windows 7, NVidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti with 2GB VRAM, AMD Phenom II x4, 16 GB RAM
EDIT: tried with a freshly downloaded zip-Version of 0.12.14, after pressing New Game the 'Tips and tricks' window appears and none of the two buttons (Next/Close) reacts when clicked. Seems it's some kind of GUI issue.
Log doesn't show anything useful (from new game with Tips and tricks screen):

I have the same issue with the Tips and Tricks getting stuck. New install of 12.14.
I started a game with Tips and Tricks disabled. Starting or loading any game and the Tips and Tricks screen still pops up. Window can be moved but neither Next or Close button works.

Same thing here on Ubuntu 14.04. Mods or not no research available. Button depresses, but nothing happens.

Confirming, Linux Mint 17.1 Xfce 64-bit using 64-bit Factorio. No mods installed, cannot begin research after updating to 0.12.14. Also tried fresh downloads of 32-bit and 64-bit clients, cannot close the tips window on new game.

Any chance of that getting pushed out soon? This bug is kind of game-breaking and an emergency fix would be really nice.

Temporary solution:

/c game.player.force.current_research = "__TECHNOLOGY_NAME__"
Replace __TECHNOLOGY_NAME__ with the string name of the research you're doing, which is usually the displayed name of the research with all lowercase letters and hyphens instead of spaces (e.g. "advanced-material-processing"). If that doesn't work, you can find all the names in the lua files in:
%factorioinstall%\data\base\prototypes\technology

Xubuntu 14.04 x64 using vanilla 0.12.14. Same deal, tips and tricks gets stuck and then research doesn't work either. Mostly just wanted to say thanks for the workaround. The LUA command to start research is actually exactly what I was looking for. Glad to see there'll be a fix next release. Thanks for the ridiculously addictive and time consuming game.
