Bug with Infrastructure screen

[DiFool6]

So I agree to let my 2-in-C provide me with an Infrastructure plan. Unhappy with the piddly training levels and tech allocations provided, I bump them up several points, as I have more than 100 points in reserve (oddly, it won't accept input from the keypad, only the numbers on the top row of the keyboard) and exit the screen. Wanting to check on port levels (this is the Italian campaign and apparently Taranto never fully recovered from the Nov. 1940 raid), I later go back into the Infrastructure screen (using the left button, no 2IC help), only to see the levels back down to where my 2IC originally had them! Even worse, all the extra points I used are now gone, with the reserve totals as I left them when I first exited the screen. Now a little miffed at the incompetent so-and-so and wanting to double check the bug, I bump them back up, exit, and re-enter, and yep, once again they are back down to what he had, and all points I had spent are gone, with the reserves even lower than before.

Now maybe I am doing something wrong here or missing some crucial feature, but I should at least get the points back if they are going to be reset each time.

John - the Infrasttructure screen allows you to have multiple bites of the cherry. Each time it shows, the 2IC does his best with what is available (unless you have not asked for his help). Each time you Commit, the funds allocated are taken then and there - which is why when you re-entered the sceen, the funds were lower then before.

OIC thanks. I thought they were disappearing into a black hole. And now I know to keep some points in reserve for fuel needs.

John - the help files indicate that the money goes when it is committed but I know it's hard to remember everything. Do you think I need a confirm step on the commit actions?

Generally speaking in games where your "action" is to be "irrevocable" it is practice to do the old "Are you sure?" bit. (Obviously not talking RT games here, lol.)

Good point - I'll add this to the Special Requests thread
