After the update, I've noticed that when I set merchants to collect, they collect nothing.

E.g. playing Portugal, I am steering 1.97 from Genoa to Sevilla. I have 15% of Genoa. But if I collect at Genoa, the tooltip tells me I'm collecting 0.00. That seems harsh, eh? The only place where sending a merchant to collect seems to help is at Sevilla.

On a side note: has the tooltip been fixed for calculating whether it's worth sending light ships to a node? Previously it gave the same amount whether you were sending 1 ship or 5 ships.

Did you wait until the end of the month? It is new in 1.8 that changing merchants will not update the income shown on the trade map mode until the next month.
