See title. If this is some sort of bug, it sure has taken an awfully long time to get fixed since I'm pretty sure it's been around for years.

I'd say it's a sort of bug, but not an simple one. AI gets something else to build before wonder is finished. I improved this a bit some weeks ago, freeciv-web probably have that fix already.

Also, it used to be that if you saved a game and came back to it later, the AI seemed to forget why it was doing things, and stopped building a wonder.

(Or at least, that's what I think I observed. This was a while ago; I'm not sure whether it still happens.)

I play freeciv-web, and it is not fixed.

That still happens as well.

Are you sure it is a "bug" (as in, "coding error")? Maybe it can be explained by an imperfect decision-making by the AIs where they switch priorities too easy. I remember the "issue" from the early days of FreeCiv, maybe even some of the original Civs, so if ti was a bug, it would have been exterminated long ago. However, if it's a behavioural problem, then to fix this, we simply need "better AIs". Which is a completely different matter. and surpasses simple coding.

It's not a bug, if you define bug as a simple coding mistake. My view was that of tracking tickets where thing is either SOME kind of error -> "bug", or more or less wanted "feature".
