I just got this event in my current game. It's a good ways into the game (2233), it's been about 20 turns since the event hit, and everyone's populaiton is still dropping like a stone (except mine, of course, I researched the thing in three turns). Any chance of getting this annoying little glitch fixed?
Edit: Nevermind, the AI was just slow about it, but they did ultimately research it.
