[Bug/gameplay] City can't grow: 68 out of 50 people required to reach next level

In this save file, one of my cities needs 50 people to reach its next level, but it has 68.  It keeps getting bigger every turn, but won't advance to the next level.

I see something similar all the time with cities I capture from minor civs.  Never seen it in one of my cities or one I capture from a major.

Note that the save file I posted conveniently has a second bug -- for some reason I can't build any improvement to harvest from old growth forests; at least, not by clicking on the forest or by sending a Pioneer (I didn't try using a city's build menu, because I didn't have a city that was close enough).

True, minor faction citis after capturing dosent grow. Mayby some kinda minor city improvments only? To keep them minor but still have somthing to build there, or upgrade existing buildings ;)
