Has anyone else had people who have recieved buffs report problems like the following?

One of my regular customers has reported recieving the buff, but the actual stat doesn't move. So he has 550/1100 for his buffs. I haven't figured out much as to the details yet, but this is the first I've heard about it. Apparently its been like this since the last patch. Apparently its only a bug on the musician buff and not the dancer buff, from what I've been told. I am getting reports that several customers have experienced this problem apparently.

yup happens all the time. its widely known and is on the list of musician issues.

The cause seems to be getting a second buff (musician, food, spice) when you already have a buff applied. The maximum value for the stat goes up, but the current does not. For Dancer buffs, the customer is eventually ok since Mind regenerates. Willpower and Focus do not. Even more fun, when the buff wears off, the buff amount is subtracted from both the current and maximum values. Since the current never got anything added to it, the customer ends up below their normal value (although secondary stats seem to bottom out at 150, not counting armor and wounds).

This has been a bug on live servers since the Oct 8th big patch, and was reported on Test Center a week or two before that. The word is that the code currently on TC has this issue fixed, but I'm not positive.
