Automatic unwanted HQ purchase

Hi all,
I usually play a turn without interruptions but sometimes I play little by little saving the game regularly. During the last long turns the computer in 3 independent times automatically bought a German HQ during those saves! Now I have 3 unwanted German HQ in the progress of being build!!! I miss those 1000 MPPs and feel that I can no longer attack the USSR in June-July 1941 as many units can not be upgraded!!
At first I thought that I made a mistake, but this happened 2 more times. The game was open for hours in my computer as I played slowly, time permitting, and made regular saves... but the MMPs were gone and HQ placed in the building queue...
Did someone suffer this bug before?

I'm confused. Did you temporarily give AI control to Germany? Otherwise how could the AI buy units for you?

No, I did not temporarily give AI control to Germany. I do not understand either.

Hi Taifun,
This is the first I've ever heard of this situation. Is this a game against the AI or multiplayer, e.g. PBEM++?
If it is against the AI, do you have any older saves from before you think the game made these auto purchases?

Hi Hubert,
This is a PBEM game. I decided to continue playing, being careful to monitor at every save the MPP total before and after the saves. I will advise if this happens again.

Brother Tailfun, check your closet for ghosts & goblins, might be something spooky going on for Devil's Night / Halloween.

I have tried myself bying 2 HQs by accident because i was trying to see the production que and instead hit build, one of the times i didnt even notice it before the turn after and didnt understand what had happened, then i did it in a turn later and noticed what i had just done with no chance of undoing it. Ss there any chance that you could have done this ?

I think that is what happened. I changed the mouse I was using with my computer and the problem did not appear again...
