Hi @blockchainstudio, thanks for making this contribution.

As always, you first find the bug and then you submit a fix.

Unfortunately, the PO says this is intentional and not a bug. His reasons are very well explained here - https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/3237#issuecomment-456884589

While your fix was not completely out of order, the PO has affirmed that the current implementation has 0 impacts on the end user. Also, it does not affect the power down in any negative way.

I am sorry for any inconvenience experienced as a result, your efforts were not in vain. At least it brings to light the reason behind the power down lasting 14 weeks instead of the supposed 13.

I know most times the project owners are too busy and do not respond in reasonable time and so you are pushed to post on utopian without them first acknowledging the bug. It can be frustrating but I'd still advise that in future contributions you wait for the PO's thoughts, especially in cases where the details behind the implementation in question are sketchy.

Do not be deterred by this. You're still one of the best hunters on the blockchain :). We look forward to more of your reports.
