Reasearch Bug

I've found a very distubing bug in the game centering around research centers. If you
start building a basic lab and then reseach 2 upgrades before the lab is finished there
will be a building but no research output!!

Try it yourself.

Normal research speed

Set Taxation to 40%
Production to 100%

Military Production 0%
Social Production 10%
Research Production 90%

Start building a lab
research Xeno Lab, then Research Centers

Just one turn before Research Centers is finished everything is fine.

Next turn. Not only did the Reasearch center on the planet complete early, there
will be no increase in research points on that planet. It's like it never existed.

Anyone else notice this?

Do you have a save game illustrating this issue?

I understand this problem has a workaround by doing a save & reload.

It's been present since early versions of the game, and doesn't just affect research buildings. Definitely affects manufacturing buildings and farms too - not sure about others. Also happens with only one level of upgrade researched.

A save / reload sorts it out though (seems that the planetary values are re-calulated on load according to the buildings physically on the planet) , so providing a save game would not help diagnosing the bug.
