Bug with The Snow Maiden's Reaver - It has no damage!

I'm not really sure where to report bugs, or sort through known issues. I looked, but couldn't find anything specific.

I recently picked up a bastard sword called "the Snow maiden's Reaver", and it seemed like a pretty nice sword. However, upon equipping it, it seems like the damage is listed as 0D4. If there's a way to fix this myself, I'd be more than happy to.

Pictures attached.

    Its base physical damage is 0d4 but it does apply cold damage to anything you hit; I think there is a bug tracker for this issue. I have always liked Snow Maiden's Reaver but it won't be usable in several locations--doing cold damage to the ice trolls or frost giants isn't very effective.

    This is a known problem, affects only the display.

    It's not. I'm doing 7 damage with it every swing, as reported on the display. I tested it on several different creatures.

    Takes forever to kill anything with it.

    It only does 2d4+2 cold damage, so "7" is appropriate damage. All those other bonuses you see are the display problem. It has no physical damage, so no bonuses to physical damage apply (Strength, Bard Song, Proficiency, Critical Hit, Backstab multiplier, etc...).

    It is not a good weapon for anything but creatures weak vs. cold damage.

    IIRC, the original did normal bastard sword damage plus a bit of cold. I'd rather that version, especially with it's cool animation when wielded.

    Nah, it's always done only cold damage. I was pretty sure it added your normal bonuses too, but I'll admit I wasn't always great at analysis last time I ran a character that used it.

    Nope, it did normal and cold. Or the cold was ridiculous since it shattered enemies on kill hits, which was damn cool.
