Spent the weekend playing, and while I had a blast, I have two things to report/ask:
1. I own Cape Town, and have for years. Whenever I have excess funds, I secure it by buying Diamonds and move them directly to Cape Town's warehouse. From time to time, I move the diamonds up to my home warehouse, and when the price is right (or I am desperate for funds), I'll cash some in. I was building up a nice nest egg, 620 Kg of Diamonds, and had moved them all to the home port. Time to sell, I Ctrl+Dragged three times (so 10 at a time) into the Trading Post. That was getting old quickly (honestly, why can't I un-stack items, for example, split my 620 stack into two 310 stacks, one to sell and one to keep without doing it 10 at a time?), so I just shift-Clicked the whole stack and dropped it onto my Trading Post. It sold, and I had somewhere north of 2 million pounds in my balance. When I left the Port screen, the money from the sale of the diamonds was gone! Back to port view, my diamonds were gone. Quit game and loaded the AutoSave - it seems to have saved when exiting port view because that is where the Autosave picks up. Argggh!!!!! I'm ruined!
2. This isn't a "bug", like above, but just horribly unfair behavior. I take the port of Goa. Almost immediately I get the "Crown wants you to ugrade your Fort" task. I accept, as I was planning to do that anyway, but then immediately I get a Quarantine for Goa. Meaning that I can't land any ships carrying Iron Tools to the port, required for building the upgrade. The quarantine lifted just in time for me to fail the mission, costing me 50,000 pounds! At this stage of the early game, that was a killer cost and I couldn't recover (ok, this was just one part, I failed several missions in a row and couldn't get out of debt, so it wasn't just this, but it didn't help!). Again, this isn't a bug, per se, but is definately an unwinable situation that I think should be addressed.

Never happened to me.
