When will peace conferences finally be fixed?

I justified, declared, and won a war, but after I defeated the enemy there was no peace conference. Instead, the defeated country just signed a white peace with a third country that had never joined or even been called into the war. A "white peace" that somehow involved a transfer of territory between the two . Despite controlling all the territory and holding all the participation score, my war was instantly ended, exiling all my divisions and initiating a truce timer.

Followed up in my next game by a peace conference that actually included me (so that's progress) - but when the window closed at the end of the conference, a handful of states that I'd spent about 5000 conference points on were just given to another attendee.

Nonsensically, I was however given a tiny strip of coastline that hadn't gotten occupied during the war (so that state is divided now.) And a couple unoccupied states in Africa that I'd spent spare points on. But zero/zilch/nada of the states that I'd spent nearly all my points on at the conference.

Is there any way to understand and anticipate what exactly is going on here? I have to know what to expect next time I capitulate a country, because I need to take specific states for an achievement I'm working on.
