[BUG] 1.02 upgradable gear and research

I queue a unit for training, I do not instantly train it that round. I pay 100 crystal to put it in the queue.

Before the unit is ready, I research improved versions of gear that the unit can use.

The unit gets removed from the build queue. I do not get a refund on my crystal costs. I cannot put it back in the queue because I need 150 crystal to put it in the queue and I only have 20 crystal.

(numbers are approximate)

I believe that this mechanism contradicts the expressed purpose of upgradeable gear (convenience).

That's strange. I don't remember ever having an unit removed from queue other than manually removing it myself. I could swear that if i research an improved version of gear while an unit is building, it simply completes using the old equipment, and only units that i put into the queue after research completes get the new equipment. I'll pay close attention next time i run into this situation.

Hmm... in my case, I actually queued three units, and instant trained the first two (using the 80 mana spell), but not the third. I wonder if that had anything to do with it?

Anyways, since this depends on an interaction between research and training and requires magical troops, I imagine it's not going to be seen very often.
