1) Debug/cheats are a possibility for the finished game, but it would reserved to some kind of secret unlock or cheat codes.
2) No one else had reported this kind of bug you're the first one, so I'm assuming that this is being caused by some weird combination of my game versus your system.
If you could please detail to me your system specs (OS, 64-bit system, memory size, etc) and which version/download are you using and I might be able to track down what could be causing this.
