What also distrubs and discourages me is the lack of honesty about this problem. If Paradox would admit that it is an issue, I might have more hope that it would be addressed in the future. By admitting it, I mean it should be listed in the Bug Reporting area under the locked thread "Known Issues" (like the one in the Tech Support area). We ALL know this is an issue so please, put it on the board. Consider this a formal request from a concerned fan.
I'v said its a known issue a few times in the patch threads lately. its also in the internal bug list with one of the higher priorities.
