[Bug] [1.8 opt-in] Colonization Event Info Not Displaying On Initial Colonization; is displaying later

from GalCiv3 Forums

As found out after some discussion in the thread [Bug] 1.8 Beta Preview - Colonization Events, the modifications to a planet due to the ideological choices that are presented to a player when a planet is colonized are not showing up in the inital planetary information window that is shown upon colonization.  Once the planet is clicked on again afterwards, however, then the info is being displayed as normal.

Here are three screenshots showing what I am talking about:

These show which ideological choice I chose that it didn't initally show up in the Research area, but did show up after I went away from the planet info window and came back to it later that same turn.

I am in the middle of submitting a ticket on this bug and will edit into this post when it finishes uploading.

Thanks for sharing.  We'll look into it.

Doing further testing, I've found that if someone builds something on a planet or chooses a planetary project, then the info will pop up on the status screen as it is supposed to.

While doing some brute force testing on this (cheating up 100 colony ships and sending them out into the night), I did notice one very odd thing.  The planetary event that can add a tile to a planet (Swamped) will NOT add that tile to a planet until either the initial planetary info screen is closed or something is done to the planet (a building ordered or a project started).  Then that tile will suddenly pop up on the screen.

This makes me think there is some sort of buffer not clearing/executing or something like that and whatever is supposed to happen isn't actually happening until something ELSE happens to the planet, either by way of building something or clicking the info screen away and then clicking on it again to bring it back up.
