I couldn't find it in this bug forum, but somebody must have noticed it already... when upgrading POPs the required products suddenly drop away. Is there a fix for this or will it be done in the next patch?

What I mean is, for example:
- upgrading from a farmer to a clerk
- waiting for enough paper to be produced (and/or bought on WM)
- so holding the mouse over the upgrade button so that it shows how much is still lacking
- it's counting down STEADILY 0.3 per day, so 10, 9.7, 9.4, ...., 2.8, 2.5
- and then suddenly it drops away, i.e. all paper is available suddenly and you can upgrade the POP

I've seen this many times (with different upgrades and with different required goods types). When you buy just after that moment you basically 'win' x paper. Looking in the inventory overview at that moment, there is exactly 0 of the item and the next day it starts increasing steadily like before.

The x can basically be any number, but I've never seen it disappear when higher than 50% of the total required.

I'm using 1.03b VIP0.2, but I've seen the same with 1.03.

Seems perfectly normal. Supply/demand is not perfectly smooth, but has little bumps along the way. If the bump is sufficiently large, and often it is, then that will be quite likely the day over which the threshold for the upgrade is crossed.
