[Bug] 1.5b - Borders shrunk after reloading saved gave while improving building

from Elemental Forums

Just noticed a bug where upon reloading a saved game, buildings that are currently being upgraded are not considered when calculating your borders, and you will temporarily lose any border extensions that you previously had if you save and re-load before the upgrade is finished.  In my capital city, I built a library that had extended my border over a life shard.  That library is the furthest building on the southeast side, therefore my borders are dependent on that library being there.

Many turns later, I started upgrading that library.  Before the upgrade finished, I saved the game (manually, not autosave) and quit.  Upon re-loading the game, this library is no longer being used to calculate my borders.  I know this because my borders were no longer covering the life shard and the life shrine was destroyed next turn.  Once the library upgrade finished, my border extended again and I was able to re-build the life shard.

This has just happened to me as well. I loaded a game - because of another bug! - and I notice my shard total is less: my borders have mysteriously shrunk and I lost a shard.

Yeah it is still in 1.5 and and is reproducable.  Even though you had a building there, the fact that it is being upgraded seems to trick the border calculation into thinking the original building does not exist either.  Happens when you load a saved game while a building is in the process of being upgraded.
