Composite forrest name

A small problem:
If there are two kinds of forrest placed on one hex, only one name of them is shown in game information bar (both are shown in editor information bar). It's doubtful why, and why just this one:
junge > light woods, forrest, evergreen forrest
light woods > forrest, evergreen forrest
forrest > evergreen forrest

I would like to see both. If only one is shown, I would like to see the "heavier" one:
jungle > evergreen forrest > forrest > light woods

What would be the point of having more than one type of forest in an hex?

Does it penalize movement?
Do their defense multipliers add?

AFAIK this is only aesthetic effect - only the "heavier" forrest is taken into account for game modifications.

Totally agree on the aesthetics, it looks better, just like this example:

Alternately, without the forests overlapping you can have them both look just as connected. (I'd show it withthe new graphics, but I use the old ones and can't be bothered to change them back, just for a screenshot). All you have to do is click on the part of the hex you want the forest in, for the light forest, it is the bottom, bottom left, and bottom right, for the forest top, top left, and top right.
