We have several militia members in our city that are unable to use any of the militia commands. They are not even able to place structures themselves. We've gone so far as to have one volunteer tear down his house (so that he's no longer even a citizen), then re-place his house and get reinducted into the militia. Still same problem. 
Our cloning center makes Overt people reclone Overt (rebels at least... I am Covert Rebel). It also does not work as the 'closest cloning facility'. We've run experiments both inside and just outside town. People who die and reclone to closest center always reclone to the next city over (over 3km to the west of us) instead on in our cloning facility.
We also have the 'Rebel' gardens, though I took those down.
We also have people in the citizen list even though they have been gone from the city for WEEKS. And I get to hear about it EVERY week because they have to pay income tax still.
On the upshot, it does appear the incredibly slow city updates have been fixed. Our city updated last night only 30 minutes or so after the terminal said we were updating.

Ahh hah..i have one. When you set property tax to 10% it takes out 2c/hour on a small house. Now we wanted to get that to 3c/hour because of the lovely 600k maint we are paying. Though testing...and lots of e-amils sent to all citizens saing taxes have been messed with, we found out that we have to jump to 19% property tax to make it go over 2c/hour. Now at 19% it doubles it to 4c/hour. Thats some really bad math there 
Let me know if this is a bug, or just some sort of wierd oversite.
Thanks... Unin

A big problem my city has been having is people who have declared residence not showing up as citizens. I presently have 68 citizens listed and some that have houses, have declared, and it has been over 24 hours for those that have had to redeclare and still they do not show as citizens.

We just had another double update and had to pay maintenance twice ... so the patch note stating this issue was fixed is definitly wrong

Ugh! I have my own little bug right now, unfortunately with these forums. I can't copy text from Word without getting all kinds of filter issues, and very often I run into problems even when typing directly into the forum input window. So just now, I'd spent a bit of time copying and pasting all of these bugs together to post over in the correspondent's forum, and I got hit with the filter complaining about using HTML, and then when it finished trying to submit, it wiped my post clear. I'll get to work on another copy and paste, but had to vent a bit of frustration first.

"glad" to here I'm not the only one with this problem ... pasting into the post window gives me white text on white background most of the time ... and then HTML iIssues ... I thought I could work around by copy&pasting it into the simple editor inbetween, but it didn't word ... I ended up pasting it into the "Edit as HTML" Mode and adding <br> after every break ... maybe you could work around through exporting your word file into a html and pasting that in here ... although word does allways add a lot of unnecesary html code that will certainly trigger the HTML checker :/

The worst bug I've found is the city updating more then once a week. Some times it will update 2 or more times with in a 2 day period. This is a major strain on city funds sence it pays mantinace each time it does this and the city did not have it's week to get the tax's collected to pay for the mantinace. This is not the first time this has happened, it seems to happen quite offten. And I end up haveing to ask people for donations to the city. I have reported this bug many times and it seems it just gets over looked.
I know some like it because it gives the mayor more xp each time. But I dont need the xp and even if I did why sould my citizens have to shell out 2x the mantinace wich could be as much as 800k or more every time this happens. The city only brings in anof for the fisrt mantinace charge of 400k that week, and that is all the city should have to pay. This bug needs to get fixed A.S.A.P. or we will start seeing citys go poof sence I know there are some out there that this has to be herting.

Write a ticket and don't stop complaining until you get a few millions into your treasury from CSRs ... they "preimbursed" a lot of cities including ours, so they'd have to do the same to your city.
To show the ammount granted to us ... we got over 5 Million the first time I complained, and after it was happening again another 1 Mio.

It might be just me and my city, but, our sales tax isn't working right.
We've done some testing, and, whenever an item is purchased off a vendor, the merchant gets ALL the cash[for example, the full 1050, instead of just 1000 credits, with 50(5%) going to the city treasury]. We've tested this on all ends, the 5% goes to the merchant, NOT the city treasury. However, when offered up on a vendor, then the sales tax DOES work, and the 5% DOES go to the city treasury.
Maybe it's intended to work like this, and I'm just not getting the point of sales tax?[though I had hoped to have some handle on the way taxes work!].

In response to people having problems with the "You must be mayor to do that" bug. I've run into this problem a couple of times, but it has always been when I'm inside a structure/garden/bank/etc. If you move away a little and make sure you are actually outdoors, it seems to work. I may be completely wrong in this regard, but at least in my own experience it has worked.
On to militia not being able to place strucutres themselves... I consider that a feature It is nice to have militia members being able to grant zoning to others to take some of the workload off myself. But, I consider it a blessing that they need to get zoning rights from someone else. This way, there is a 2nd person double checking placements.
Ok, I'll try to post some more later, but I have to go back and re-read the thread sometime to remind myself.

I've been having decorations disappear.When I check how many I'm alowed it says 30 but i dont have near that many.Then i check civic structures it says i am allowed 19 but I have 27.So now i got throught the list and low and behold when i add up everything(civic,decorations and trainers )it comes to 27.If decorations are civic ctrustures how can i be allowed 30 but only 19 civic structures.And why would a trainer be considered a structure.I get not emails or notices that im over any limit but things go poof in the night.

Trainers and decorations simply apear in the "Structures" list, they don't add to the cap ... this is probably because the devs wanted to save on pop-up windows or what ever
