BPOs becoming BPCs when looted

Hey... not sure if this is the right spot, but I was wondering if any of you have noticed blueprints in lootable containers that show up as "original, infinite runs" becoming BPC (copy, 25 runs) when looted.

I've seen this twice so far with BPCs from I think relic sites in WS (class 3, -1.0) systems, and it's damn disappointing :)

I actually suspect they're only meant to be BPCs, and the bug is actually that they're showing up as BPOs in the container. Might upset someone who chose which container to loot based on contents, though.

I opened a ticket to ask about this 3 days ago, no reply yet.

I think the problem is the color of the blueprint before you hack the can. The color tells you that it is a BPO but if you do show info on it while it is still in the container, it will tell you it's a BPC.

EDIT : Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think you can find any BPO in hacking container

This is correct as far as I know.

i am almost 100% sure this is some kind of UI bug, I did a site and it had a BPC, but if i continued to 'show info' on the blueprint it would change between BPO and BPC, I kept doing this because my simple mind found in amusing, eventually my game crashed and after i reloaded the game it didn't show as a BPO at all anymore.

Basically it will actually be a BPC

Got a reply back on my ticket.

Confirmed by CCP Makoto, this is a display bug that's on the list of items to fix. The dropped blueprints are BPCs only.

I ran 1000 copies of my Procurer BPO, i gave a hundred or so away, wen i traded a few in trade window it appeared as an original with my already researched BPO. I canceled the trade contracted him the BPC, in the contract it also appeared as original. Also this seems to be happening a lot on linked BPO's on the Blueprints Chat page.
