The technical reason is, that revenue setting and payout selection
count as one UI action. The game engine, which updates the panel,
is not informed until the payout has been chosen.

But your point is valid, and I will add a provisional revenue update
before the payout selection.

In a future version for internet play (not yet possible), this will mean,
that only the operating player will see this value before the payout
selection.
That looks OK to me.
