Salic consanguinity allows other dynasties to inherit when ruler has no sons

[Solmyr]

When a ruler has no sons, salic consanguinity succession will allow members of other dynasties to inherit. Shouldn't Salic succession always restrict inheritance to the ruler's own dynasty only? With Salic primogeniture you'll only get your own dynasty as heirs, even with no sons. Why should consanguinity be different? Otherwise salic and semisalic consanguinity work exactly the same.

Consanguinity only makes since when the ruler has heirs, and then his heirs have heirs, to ensure that the strongest member of each generation has the best shot at ruling. In the absence of progeny, I don't know how it works. Salic just means that women cannot inherit, or, in CK terms, the son of the king's daughter is excluded from succession. If the king has no sons, and the law is semisalic, he may be succeeded by a distaff cousin or daughter's son.

That said, there seems to be a bug under salic consanguinity where the daughter's son still occurs in the line of succession among all the other grandchildren.

Well yes, inheritance through women should be impossible with salic law, yet as I said currently if the ruler has no sons, salic consanguinity still allows descendants of the dynasty's women to inherit.

I changed bulgaria to salic consaniguinaty and now my nephew (through my sister) appears on the succesion list, although at the end.

salic consanguinity is simply still not fixed
