[Bug] Dwarven Weapon Profiency

The online D&D Compendium and the D&D Character Builder's Character Sheet (not the Builder itself, but its Character Sheet) have different versions of Dwarven Weapon Training.

It should read "You gain proficiency with the throwing hammer and the warhammer," but the Character Builder's Character Sheet reads incorrectly as "Proficient with hammers."

This bug is allowing dwarves to gain superior hammers' (i.e. Craghammer) proficiency bonus to hit, for "free," without having to spend a feat as usual for a superior weapon.

There is no such bug that i could observe. I created a Dwarf Rogue and he couldn't take Craghammers. The OCB Character Sheet only give an brief abbreviated resume of the Racial Feature, but the Racial write up is correct and works just as its supposed, giving only proficiency to Warhammer and Throwing Hammers.

Dwarven Weapon Proficiency (dwarf racial feature) is what I meant to say across the board, my apologizes. 

If you pull up the Character Sheets in the Builder, you'll see that Dwarven Weapon Proficiency does not match the rules text in either the Builder itself under Race, or the online Compendium. 

On the character sheets, under Racial Features, Dwarven Weapon Proficiency reads some nonsensical rules description that isn't found anywhere: "Proficient with hammers." 

This is allowing, for example, a dwarf warden to select and use the profiency bonus of a superior craghammer, for "free."

I figured out the bug in more detail by doing the following (please replicate and you'll see).  It appears the bug is specific to the Craghammer and/or Weapon Proficiency with the Craghammer, and/or an interaction with the Marketplace:

1) Creat a new dwarf warden, level 1.

2) Take the feat Weapon Proficiency: Craghammer.

3) Go the marketplace and add a Craghammer. 

4) Back to builder and Equip the Craghammer.   

5) Note your attack powers' bonus includes the proficiency bonus.

6) Deselect/unchoose your feat Weapon Proficiency: Craghammer (while it's still equipped).

7) Note that your powers' attack bonus has not changed with the loss of the feat.  You can take any new feat and the proficiency bonus "ghost" still stays with the character.  Thus, you've now picked up profiency with the Craghammer for free.
