resource CS convoy picking (unwanted) supplies

I have a problem with CS convoys; hope someone can help

The issue is that my resource CS convoys sometimes pickup supplies againts orders - I have them at "return cargo = none"; but once in a while they just pick supplies

I don't know if this might be due to the way I am setting them up. My typical resource CS convoy would be something like this:
home port is the source of the resources (example: Pto Arthur)
destination is set to home islands (example: Fukuoka)
CS for resources
return cargo = none
full refuel at destination

And the worst problem is that it is random... most of the times it work fine, but unless I am checking them every turn, I risk taking all supplies from a port

thanks

This iirc was an old issue supposedly fixed in a patch. What version are you running ?

[edit] Save should be attached for Michael to check ...

I thought I was running the latest; I also bought the game recently (6 months ago), and I think the version downloaded was the latest... I will check and report as soon as I am back home

best regards

yes I have both turns; it happened actually like 10 turns ago, but I somehow missed it

I have an example of a CS TF loading resources in Dec 14 and then in Dec 15 the CS change to supplies (but I can see "orange" cargo from the previous turn)

do you know how to post or send them? I don't think I have permission rights to upload big files

Actually what I have is a human controlled convoy loading resources in Dec 14.

By Dec15 this convoy has become CS with half a load of resources but asking for supplies... Therefore human error is entirely possible

I will keep an eye on this and I will try to find a better example
