Unable to use demolish

When I capture little spammed cities, I would prefer to demolish them, so as to avoid the unrest hit across my kingdom.  However, it doesn't seem to work.

Is this a bug or a rule?  (And if it is a rule, it really should be more clear from the interface why it is not allowed.)

I believe there is a rule that you can demolish until after 5 turns, but I tend not to demolish cities so I never check this feature.

I raze everything, usually on the turn I conquered it, so I don't have any clue where this is coming from. You should be able to raze a city with or without troops in it, at any given time you choose.

While going through elementaldefs to reset a few tweaks I employ, I noted that there is a line for setting the minimum number of turns before being able to raze a city you've just taken over. Default appears to be 0. It's possible you just have it set differently?
