Sliders not adding up to 100%, Espionage problem

[DaddyMac]

Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Make contact with Civ1.
2. Increase Espionage spending. My example uses 30% Espionage, 50% Research
3. Eliminate Civ1.
4. Note that the financial advisor shows 70% commerce utilization. 50% from Research and 20% for Gold.

I expected the 30% from Espionage to go back to gold when I did not have a valid Espionage target.

good catch. Rare situation but it is a bug.

The workaround, if you remember to do this:
After eliminating all espionage targets, adjust the Research slider to 100%, then back down to where you want it.

The rarity of the bug, I think, is going to have a lot to do with individual play style, starting conditions, and the victory condition you're going for.
