Major issues with People where if you either click X on a face in any random picture to not show up in the People section or in the for People that have already a tagged face, it will show in the Add People section with a grey box and not a face. Continuous problems and potential data loss await. (You will see this for People with 1 picture or multiple pictures.) You cannot see the the persons face since it is greyed out and double clicking, right-clicking does nothing.
If you do add a Person, it will still be the same grey screen on your main People page. If you do double-click, it will take you to the overview page with an pinwheel that does nothing and all areas of that page will be grey. I continued to let it go on and the pinwheel just stops, but nothing appears. (After repair, I saw that it is "analyzing", but nothing came of it) I was able to find the pictures if you play a Slideshow by right clicking. It will only then show you the affected pages. Going back, everything was grey again and I could not do anything.
The part with the major issue: for one of the grey boxes with 8 pictures that I had added, you cannot remove the face. Just hide. I don't remember if it was before or after I hid the picture, but I could not add other faces at all. The adding Face button was gone. I tried repairing, but the Add Faces button was no longer there. I had to restore my Photos library, however, all that did was bring back the + Add People, but still left the grey box with 8 people. For some reason, even with a restore before I added the Grey face, it was still there in the main People section. I also continued to have grey boxes in the Add People section.
There are three main bugs:
1) grey pictures in the Add People section after X'ing out a Face and/or random pictures with greyed out Faces that were already tagged
2) after adding a Face that is grey, I am not able to go to the Add Faces section (but was able to after restore)
3) Even with deletion of affected pictures, deletion of face, the grey boxes will still remain in People. There's no way to get rid of this as far as I can see.
An additional usability issue is that you cannot delete a Person, you can only Hide.
Random notes roundup:
-I can see the pictures by playing a slideshow
-Removing the Face from the picture doesn’t fix anything
-Deleting the picture does not do anything. The grey section is still in People.
-There's no way to remove the affected grey boxes in People
