Happiness bug?

So during my latest game while studying some of the numbers of my empire at the end, mostly for personal notes and comparisons, I noticed something odd in the happiness details, I had a negative number of unhapiness from population. I could find no explanation for this number, even with Forbidden Palace and Meritocracy (and no wasn't playing as Ghandi).

Anyway I played on a few turns past victory just to try and figure out what cause this with no luck the number changed radically every few turns, I attached 2 screenshots to the post, one showing the negative hapiness and the other from a few turns later with it being up to ~38.

Now I get that citizens working as specialist don't count towards this number, but Amsterdam alone worked every single tile, and in total all non-puppeted cities worked about 80 tiles. Is it posible some social policies instead of giving extra hapiness actually just reduces the unhapiness generated? Like Millitary Caste or Proffesional Army?
 
Yes that is very strange. And what is that 40 happiness from number of cities?
Seems like some of the happiness was shifted around from normal to specialist population since the net happiness is close to the same in both and everything but those two figures are the same or close between the two. Not sure why that would happen though.
 
That's the effect of the wonder CN Tower.

Awesome, I checked everything out again last night, but I got beat to that one by wondermonger Gustavus :( He even stole my Porcelain Tower after I GEngineered it :mad:

So all Social Policy happiness is Global except Miitary Caste and ones that add Happiness to Buildings.
Pantheons and Beliefs that let you create Buildings or add Happiness to Buildings are local.
Founder Happiness Beliefs are Global.
Regular Buildings are Local.
Chicken Itza, Taj Mahal, and Neuschwanstein and the Castle Happiness Bonus from Neuschwanstein are Local.
Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower and CN Tower are Global.

Next to a mountain with improved horses or ivory and being able to build all the Wonders and get the Beliefs would give a max of 35 local happiness. Bare minimum with no wonders, horses/ivory and no Pantheon/Religion would be 16.

I'm not quite sure how they do the calculation for India. It seems to cap local at around 2/3 population. I think it takes like 24 population to get 16 local so maybe they have it figured so at that point your local would wipe out all but two of the unhappiness from a city including the six for an Indian city.
