Bug in Extractor Control readout?

I started PI recently so I have only just noticed that the 'Current Cycle Output' reading on the Extractor Control Unit (the small display panel that shows when you click on the extractor unit) is only correct for the first cycle. It does not change when cycle 2 starts but does change OK after that, and so from cycle 2 forward it always shows the amount extracted during the previous cycle, not the current cycle. Given how long PI has been around, I am surprised that this bug is still there!

Anybody else noticed this?

The only really relevant number is the estimated program output per hour - you need 6000 units/hour to keep a basic processor busy. As long as you buffer your extractors with a central storage unit or Launchpad the amount in any given cycle really doesn't matter. You improve the estimate by training the planetology skills.

To answer the specific question, I've never noticed but I've never looked.
