eternal access?

I think maybe this has been reported before, but I couldn't find it readily. There doesn't seem to be any way to retract access from an ally; once you allow them in, that seems to be it, even if you uncheck the box. It also seems to continue even if the alliance is broken.

I don't have a file offhand for this; just something I've noticed a couple of times.

Nathan:
 
This looks like a bug to me and it looks like you're right! My problem is that I need some type of interim access that would allow time for the ally to get out (This would also be useful in post surrender scenarios). I will look at this!

Maybe just a revoke access toggle that can be used if no ally has troops in your areas and whatever the solution to forced repatriation you pick if the alliance gets broken (still like the everything repatriated goes into the reinforcement pool to arrive in 3 months).

Another anomoly in my oppinion:

Same game, I was allied with the unplayed prussia and had ticked grant vol access. Prussia was DOW'ed and requested my help (annoyingly I had forgot to tick support prussia vs spain who declared war so ) I broke my alliance.

Months later I the political landscape had changed conciderable and I was no longer keen on giving prussia vol access, but when prussia asks for access its automaticly granted. As my alliance with prussia at this point is broken and Prussia no longer appear as an ally on my diplomacy screen i cant untick the grant access box... annoying.

Also this grant or not grant if not allied seems to be resolved with a throw of the dice even between human controlled players (might be wrong but it appears like that) I would suggest that the option to grant or not grant access to all major powers always should be available regardles if they are allied or not.

I have an access-related question, though of a slightly different flavor: Shouldn't major powers be able to dock their fleets in ports of minor neutrals? In my PBEM game I attempted to move a Spanish fleet from Corunna to Bremen (Oldenburg was neutral) to disembark & forage, but the program rejected the attempt as "too few movement points..." although Bremen was well within range.
