I'm still seeing this bug in .982. My governors aren't giving their +2 growth in cities after loading a saved game until I move them out and back in again. Anybody else seeing this?
That was my first impression, too. After taking a closer look, however, I noticed that the population was increasing by the correct amount. It was just another case of the UI not updating properly.
Still, I have seen the case of the governor not granting the bonus, too. This happened twice, but I could never reproduce it.
