I was in the colony management screen(the list of all the colonies) and had one turn to go on a research project. I played around with the focus buttons to optimize my production then clicked over to the reseach screen to see if there was still one turn left, which there was. The next turn the research was not complete. This is because the tech screen is not updating properly. I did some testing and found that if you click around between the various screens a few times the tech screen will update.

While I'm on the subject, in the tech screen its not very helpful to see how how many bc's I'm spending on research. It would be more helpful to see how many research points I'm generating. It would be much more helpful to also see how many research points are left for the project to be complete.
