I'm not sure if this is actually a bug, but it's intensely annoying.
I was playing the Age of Enlightenment scenario as England - or would that be Great Britain by this point? Anyway, this scenario starts with Austria leading an alliance with England, the Netherlands, and Brandenburg against a French-Spanish-Bavarian coalition. (Plus a couple more German minors on each side).
After a couple of years the Netherlands took some money and quit the war. I figured Austria would be looking to wrap things up soon too, so I decided to get whatever I could grab. Marlborough had just taken Hainault, and the Spanish offered it up for a separate peace. I figured that was fine with me, since I was more interested in thrashing France. So I took the deal.
This ended my war with Spain. It also ended my co-belligerency with the Austrian alliance. We were all still at war with France, and all still allies; we just weren't at war *together*. This meant that I couldn't enter Austrian or Branderburger territory anymore - so Marlborough and his army were trapped in Hainault for the rest of the war. And I couldn't prevent France from thrashing Brandenburg.
I was not pleased. Especially since there isn't any way to reactivate the alliance except by starting a new war.
