Custom Languages Not Working Properly

Either I'm the only person using custom languages or I'm having a unique issue.

Custom languages are displaying properly only so long as I have not closed the program.  As soon as a load a character with a custom language the character is tagged as "houseruled" and the custom language chosen no longer appears on the list of available languages when I "unchoose" it.  However, all other custom languages are still displayed as options.  All languages, including the chosen one which disappears from the available list are still listed on the custom campaign area.  I'm not sure what to make of all of it...

I got similar results with custom languages and deities.  I created a campaign file with multiple custom languages and deities and then used it to generate a human cleric with a custom language and a custom deity.  Everything was fine until I either viewed the character sheet or saved the character and exited --- at that point both the language and the deity were reassigned to different values, and the originally selected language was unavailable. 

Darn it -- these new customization featuers had looked so promising when I first saw them in the new version of the Character Builder.  I guess I will have to see what I can do to make things work -- maybe if I disable all non-PHB languages and deities so that the new material is not interspersed with any old material?  I will post again if I can find anything better than "Report the bug, then wait for the January release and hope things are now working."

Okay, here is where we seem to stand with customization:

1) Races:  Works okay, but since no racial features are added, I would use custom races only in a game where they are the only choices available -- but see general problem below. 

2) Languages:  Buggy as described above and thus totally unusable.  See also general problem below.

3) Deities:  See general problem below.

4) Feats:  See general problem below.

5) Rituals:  Spawn repeatedly at start of list of rituals.  Best not to use at present.

General:  No more than two of each custom entity can be added and work properly.  If you have a list of three or more custom entities of a given type and select anything other than the first or last item, the selection moves to the last item after you save a character and then reload it later.

Ok, well, it's not just me at least so I can stop jacking with it.  Thanks for the feed-back, I'll try to get a bug report in if I can make that work.

Ah well, no luck at all...  Clicking "Report a CB Bug" results in the program freezing and no bug reporting for me.  If someone could send in a bug report directing them to this thread or if a WotC member could say they read this I'd appreciate it...

I reported the language bug and the no more than 2 custom items bug.

Hey guys,

Strange...I'll go ahead and forward these issues on to the team.  Sorry for the trouble and thanks for taking the time to point these out.
