While this might not be considered a bug, I am still going to bring it up due to its problematic nature.
 
 
For starters, whenever the perk system has been activated, only one page of the journal is added, thus leaving you ill informed on alot of things short of navigating the forums.  The other problem is the instant lock in once you click on any of the options.  A player who cannot find the information in the future might think "Well, if I click on it, surely it will tell me what exactly it does before locking me in".  This however is not the case.
 
I know that the developers are probably aware of this, but as the saying goes "Bad things happen when good people say or do nothing".

While I agree this is problematic, the Perks menu in the crafting menu does have an explicit warning about the fact that selecting one will automatically choose it.

It could possibly be worded better.

I'm not sure if the scripting can be changed to add another branch level to the conversation that provides a description before confirming your choice. But worth adding if possible.

The fact that only Pt 1 of the journal entry appears however, is indeed a bug.
