I submitted the following bug report.  Is it just me or is this happening to everyone?  Would adding scope to the xml fix the issue?

I unlocked the final benevolent ideology talent. My research per turn did not change. The ideology unlock says that you should get 5 research per colony upon unlocking it. I did not get any research per colony. I don't understand the XML that well but it is attached below. I did get the 600 research points. From looking at the 3rd tier ideology that does work, is the fact that this trait is missing : "<Scope>Global</Scope>" the reason it does not work?

Quick Update, editing the XML to look like this works to fix it.

<EffectType>Research</EffectType>

<Scope>Global</Scope>

-<Target>

The full trait now looks like this:
