Bugs in Gold v1.78?

Found a nice feature recently:

Any project which needs 10 turns (emergency build rate) for complete can be set to emergency build with avoidance of the slow rate. When it is completed, just press the clear queue button and the slow build rate will be reset. The emergency build button is inverted after that but it does not matter, you can press clear queue for a 2nd time to clear this out.

I can confirm this. It is a huge bug. It is very hard to tell if someone is using it and it gives big advantage.

Shif-clicking drones works fine. The drones arrive on the same time. They might need to have the same movement points but I haven't tested it.
