Problem with ship designs & scanners (1.67)

[ckotchey]

In my first game, I've noticed something odd. I know the design of a particular enemy ship. Thus, I can view it in the ship designer windows. However, when I see one of these ships in actual space and click on it, it does not allow me to click on the "Comps" tab to see the components - when I cant remember what sort of weaponry it has. I notice, however, that if I get a long-range scanner within range, I can again see the design from the main screen by clicking "comps". At first, I thought it was because the ship had a Scanner Jammer aboard, but upon looking again, it doesn't have one. Even if that was the case, however, that should not matter since I already know the design - and if I know the design, I should ALWAYS be able to view it from the main screen. Is this a known problem? I have SE4 gold, 1.67 patch.
