Summary​

Confederate Partition inheritance prediction is wrong for heir whose allocated Kingdom title doesn't yet exist.

Description​

Early Medieval, Feudal, Confederate Partition, Player Empire contains two existing kingdom titles, and the lands to allow a third to be created (via Confederate Partition). Empire capital is not inside any of those three kingdoms. Emperor has 4 sons.
Under Confederate Partition, the game (I think correctly) reports that first son gets Empire and all counties. Second and Third sons get one each of the existing kingdoms. Fourth son gets the kingdom which doesnt yet exist, but can be created.
At this point, Limited Crown Authority is in force, so I can assign each of the three younger sons to control a city barony each.
Sons 2 and 3 lose their inheritance, and those kingdoms now go to first son. However son 4 is still reported as being in line for the Kingdom which does not exist yet. Which is wrong, I think.

Steps to reproduce​

Empire set up as above
Assign 3 younger sons to cities
Review what Confederate Partition believes will occur on succession.

Early Medieval, Feudal, Confederate Partition, Player Empire (Bengal) contains two existing kingdom titles (Orissa, Gondwana), and the lands to allow a third (Bihar) to be created (via Confederate Partition). Empire capital (Varanasi) is not inside any of those three kingdoms. Emperor has 4 sons.

Under Confederate Partition, the game (I think correctly) reports that first son gets Empire and all counties. Second and Third sons get one each of the existing kingdoms. Fourth son gets the kingdom of Bihar which doesn't yet exist, but can be created by Confederate Partition.

At this point, Limited Crown Authority is in force, so I can revoke 3 auto-assigned city rulers from cities in my domain, and assign each of the three younger sons to control a city barony each.

It's not clear to me whether this is an intended feature or a different bug. I see reports in other places suggesting that having potential player heirs as city rulers causes problems with legitimacy calculations, and also causes a game crash if the main heir inherits and then dies (second son, a city ruler, becomes Player, but the game doesn't support player as Republic).

Sons 2 and 3 lose their feudal inheritance after becoming city (republic) rulers, and those kingdoms now go to first son.
However son 4 is still reported as being in line for the Kingdom of Bihar, which does not exist yet.
I think this is wrong, because even if Confederate Partition can create the Kingdom title, son 4 still cannot inherit it because he is republic.
The 4 screenshots show what the game said, after sons 2/3/4 got given cities.

In practice, when the father died, the first son got the Empire and the two kingdoms. The Kingdom of Bihar did not get created. Son 2+3+4 all got nothing.
