This is not a bug w/ 1.11, it is a starcraft bug in general. It has happened several times to me in the past few years of playing and this is the explanation:


Lets say I want to morph 12 gaurdians. I select my mutalisks and hit "G" for guards, but my finger accidentally slips and i hit "H" for hold position. Due to the split second delay in the morph, i lose all 1200 gas but my mutalisks just end up holding position. !!! ==[[[

In a similar case, one can hit "L" for lurkers and accidentally press "P" for patrol and lose the money for lurkers.

Although its incredibly hard to do, i'm about 80% sure that this is the explanation, because i've noticed that this is generally what seems to be consistent throughout all my gas losing thingies.

Heh, the bug is quite funny and triggers others too. I just tried it with mutals, and yes, the minerals and gas simply get deducted. Funny thing is, if you actually morph and then cancel the guardians after gas/min deduction, the mutals come back to mutalisk form, but the guardian and devourer icon simply dissapear and you can no longer morph them. And then, if you select a normal mutalisk and THEN one shift+ of the 'modified' if you will, mutalisks, the icons appear. If done the other way, (modified shift+ normal) the icons are gone. If you press morph (guardian/dev) with both types selected, only the non-modified mutalisks will morph. SC has some gosu coding..
