Re: [Rails-devel] 18EU leftover stations bug (was 2x Bug Reports 18TN Rails 1.7.3)

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Follow-up on the display station issues:
I have fixed the general issue that the display of tokens was not 
updated after undo/redo of actions. (Typical move related bug in the 
rails1.x branch).

Could someone either verify (using the rails1.7.x branch) that this also 
fixes the bug below and/or provide a save file that allows to test the 
case (if not, for further investigation).
