Transports emptying when put in orbit

Don't know it this is intended behaviour but:

I built a couple of transport on planet A. Launched them (1 billion troops each). Moved them to another of my planets (B) and had them orbit it.

Now when I wanted to move them again, I had to "re-launch" them by pressing the launch button and fill in the number of troops to deploy again...

Obviously I had not intended to draw any troops from planet B but that was the only way to get the transports out of orbit (even thought they should already be loaded with troops from planet A).

It's working as designed. Your transports are unloaded when in orbit.

Thanks for the answer

But what happens if the planet is already at max population? The people just disappear (I assume so since this is what happened in my game)?
