Why can't I raze a city?

[Gidoza]

So I annexed a city - we're in late medieval right now. I built a building, then afterwards changed my mind that I wanted it to be razed.

I've done this to two cities beforehand without issues.

Then, on this next city - on one turn, the raze button is still available in the city screen. The turn after, the raze button has vanished. Nothing at all has changed about the city situation so far as I can tell.

What is it exactly that suddenly prevents the razing of a city?

Sounds like a bug. Sure it's not an original capital (including a City-State's capital)? If not, then please make a bug report on Github.

Alright so here's a separate question - why, when razing a city would the "stop razing" button not work, forcing you to burn it to the ground even when you want to reverse it?

I also am unable to stop razing cities, despite the big button that says "Stop Razing"

That's a bug, report on Github please.

It's a very old bug. I think even the stable version is affected.
