[Bug] "Bad Iron" Rumor from Temple Never Added to Journal Despite Text Indicating It

Below are three screenshots.

The first is the rumor that was given to me from the temple due to my donation.

The second is the dialog box showing that it was applied as an update to "Troubles in the Region" in my journal.

The third is a picture of my journal -- you'll notice the update is not applied to the "Troubles in the Region" section. I've tested this multiple times. For whatever reason this one journal entry is never added when you donate, despite the game telling you otherwise. I don't already have an entry related to the Iron Crisis at all, so that's not the cause. Seems to be a bug.

I'm not sure if this particular entry does this for all temples, or just Song of the Morning outside Beregost (Thats where I've tested it).

    Registered. Here's the entry you were supposed to get:

    Troubles in the Region
    Iron from the Nashkel mines is nearly useless when smelted. People suspect that the denizens of Nashkel are doing it intentionally, as part of some grandiose plot in the service of Amn.

    @HaHaCharade, @Jalily: the journal entries are so screwed up in respect of many quests as to be almost useless, but the "Troubles in the Region" entries seem to me to have been even more badly mucked up than any other. Unfortunately, @HaHaCharade, you'll subsequently meet several more entries for that quest which either don't appear in the journal at all, or appear in the wrong section, or appear in the wrong sequence, or appear after the quest is actually completed and shouldn't continue to register ... it's a terrible mess.

    The devs have gradually improved some of the other quest entries, they're gradually getting there, but so far it's still the case that the journal is the most dis-enhanced aspect of BGee. I can see that the team is working on it and I expect that they'll sort it out eventually, but there's much to be done.

    Note to @Jalily: somewhere in the journalling code, someone has got mixed up between sort-by-#stringindex and sort-by-timestamp. That'd explain quite a lot of the current journal faults. What's new (I think) in the latest patch is that now some new faults have been introduced by moving some Quest entries into Journal entries.

    Yeah, these are known issues. The nonsensical sorting in particular has been registered since before release.
