Status: offline 		When in the trade screen, clicking more than once on any amount of money in either offering/accepting windows results in the offered/accepted amount converting into a negative number and then getting stuck there. The result is that the only possible trade is either 10, 100, 1000 or 10000.

Example:

Wanting to trade 1100 credits

Click 1000 credits 1000 credits appears in Offered goods list Click on 100 credits -173649 credits appears in Offered goods list

Doesn't seem to be any way to correct it, and happens randomly. I've seen numbers as low as -143 or as high as over -1800000. The number can be cleared (offer removed) but it will appear again anytime when clicking a number the 2nd time. The negative number is always the same within the same trade screen. Not sure what could be causing it, or how to reproduce it.

Basically, when you first put money on the screen, it doesn't check how much money the AI has.  When you go to add money, it checks and caps it to the amoupnt they have (negative, if they're broke).  So you can offer 10K when they only have 5 credits, or get them to pay 10K when they're already 50 in the hole.  If the rest of the deal is good, of course.
