Bad "sink 2 ships" objective

[sloanjh]

When did you start the game - 1900
What nation were you playing?
UK
Were there any start options that were not the default?
Large, build legacy, bumped to highest difficulty in 1st battle
Describe the issue in detail.  Got a cruiser action (I think) in N Europe after enemy declined a SE Asia battle (convoy attack IIRC).  Had a "sink 2 ships" objective.  Sank 4 ships, objective not met.  Went looking for objective (using "locate" from right-click).  Found it in SE Asia.
What were you doing when the bug occurred?
Accepting a second battle
What did you expect to happen and how was the result you saw different than you expected.
I expected the objective for sink 2 ships to be in the same region as the battle
Can you describe how to reproduce the bug?
Get the AI to decline 1st battle?
What version of the game were you playing (v1.00, v1.01, etc)? 1.04 (started game in 1.00)

Thanks for the report - do you happen to have a save game available from just after the battle?

Unfortunately no - sorry.

One thing to emphasize - when I first saw it on the other side of the world, I thought it was diametrically opposite from the true objective.  I zoomed out though and that was not the case (too close to the equator).  Then I realized that it was in SE Asia, where a first battle had been declined.  Combining this with incorrect invasion battles, it feels like state information about battles is leaking from first declined battles into later accepted battles.

Just had it happen again (in the same game - I've been playing it since 1.0.0 and am now running 1.0.4).  DD action in N Europe, but sink 2 ships objective is in the Med.  Note that I'm 99% sure that there were no declined battles before this one, so my conjecture that it had to do with state carrying over from declined battles is almost certainly wrong.  Attaching save game at start of battle.

Note the red dot near the bottom middle of the screen (in the Med) - that's the objective.

And I just landed in what looks like exactly the same battle setup again, so I assume it's a typo in the configuration file for the battle setup.
