[Gameplay Bug][unable to put replacements on map][8.5.4]

In earlier versions, if I had extra CP points in mid-game and tried to deploy a reserve unit, I could click "Purchase" and open both the purchase screen and the reserve unit list on the left, and then place a reserve unit on the map in one of the highlighted placement hexes.
In 8.5.4, the same thing happens, but I cannot place a reserve unit on the map until I purchase something. That makes the purchase screen go away. Then I can deploy any number of reserve units (whether or not I place the one I just bought or not). In other words, I'm forced to purchase. If I click "close" on the purchase screen, the reserve unit list closes too.
I just discovered a workaround. If I click "force" instead of "purchase" and then in the force list click the "reserve units" shopping cart, the purchase screen does not open and I can deploy units, but this is a hard to discover if you've played older versions.
Fig 1 I have reserve units like the conscripts at the top of the list, and highlighted places I can put them, but nothing happens when I select on the conscripts and click on the placement hex.
Fig 2 If I buy an infantry unit, which you can see added to my reserve units on the left, the purchase screen closes LEAVING THE RESERVE UNITS WINDOW OPEN and I can place reserve units, as I did with the conscripts from the top of the list placed near Churubach.
