Bug #24420
Strategies count Science twice toward cap limit.

Description
This has actually been going on for at least nearly two years: https://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/7y53dl/admin_building_bug_can_anyone_confirm_this/
When you're selecting a strategy that takes a percentage of Science field work AND Science contract rewards, the game counts them as a percentage of total science, adding them together. One strategy (with field and contract components) at 40% will count as 80% commitment. At 50%, it counts as 100%.
This means that strategies that ask for 50% of Field and Contract science (like Patents Licensing and Open-Source Tech Program)are consequentially mutually exclusive from 50-100%.

Just discovered this. Was hoping to use "Open-Source Tech Program" and "Patents Licensing" both at 50%, but with one at 50%, the other will not go even at 1%, saying the total share exceeds 100% which it should not. This is pretty annoying since science becomes useless after the tech tree is completed, and with this bug you cannot put 100% of it to use towards money or reputation either.
