Bug #12866
Can't commit over 70%
10%
Description
I have "Open-Source Tech Program" active at 30% commitment, and want to activate "Patents Licensing" for the other 70%, but it won't let me commit more than 40% to it, objecting that it would be over 100% of my science. Only have Kerbal Alarm Clock and Asteroid Day, tried again with KAC removed on the same save file and had the same result. I'm also having problems with the screen flickering as with Bug #9365
Anyone having this problem with a never-modded game? I looked at KSP.log and it didn't seem to say anything relevant. Anything else I could check or upload?
KSP ver 1.1.3x64 Windows x64

Open source Tech program takes 30% science gains from contracts and 30% science gains from field work, those added together = 60%, which correctly leaves 40% science commitment left over

Are you serious? Nothing about that says that they're added together, nor does that make any sense. Both types of contract specify the percentage from each type of research, separately.
You've got ten apples and ten oranges on a table, and you pick up three of each. You may be holding six fruit, but there's still seven of each on the table.

By that logic it should be impossible to activate open source tech program over 50% as 50% from each is 100%. This is clearly not the case.
