Multiples instances for each race in population policy panel for 2 colonies

The population policy panel for 2 of my colonies (Sarafor 3 and Vistar 1) shows multiples instances of each race (2 repeats for each at Vistar 1 and 4 at Sarfor 3). Don't know if it's related to the problem, but these 2 colonies have something in common: I invaded them (Sarafor was an independant, Vistar 1 was a Mortalen Sovereignty colony).

Here’s a screenshot of the Sarafor 3 panel:

It stays like that when I reload the save, even after quitting the game completely. So you should be able to see the same thing using the save.

First time I see this (or, at least, first time I notice it).

Thanks for the report, this should be fixed in 1.1.7.2, which we released today.

Don’t know if, for the problem to be fixed, one has to start a new game with 1.1.7.2, but with a game started with a previous version, the problem still occurs with 1.1.7.3:

I don’t remember at which version exactly I started this game, but it was at the earliest with Discovery. I would say more likely it was with 1.1.7.1. But I’m not sure. Here’s the save if you want to look at it.

We've just released another public beta today and we haven't seen more reports on this particular issue. We'd suggest starting a new game on v1.1.7.4 as it includes some data and event changes that'll only take effect upon restart.
