[Not an Issue] My thief keeps losing skill points

I'm playing as a Fighter/Thief. When I started the game I had 100+ skill points in both picking locks and finding traps. Since then, the number of skill points has steadily decreased as I have leveled up. The points don't go down every time I level up. Maybe every other time.

I started this game before the 1.3 update came out.

    Do you have a save that you could zip and attach for inspection please @simAlity‌ (the earlier the better so we can try levelling the character up to see if it can be reproduced).
    Thanks

    Here you go.

    The "New Game" save is is the first or second save I made in this game. So its very early.
    In the WallBug save is later, but I'm fairly close to leveling up.

    Let me know if you need anything else.

    OK
    I levelled your character up from 8 to 14 one level at a time and got the results I expected. Comparing your two saves, you have lost 20 points between them, and the reason for that is the dexterity reduction from 17 to 16 as per http://baldursgate.wikia.com/wiki/Dexterity
    5% Pick Pockets
    5% Hide in Shadow
    10% Open Locks

    In addition to that, you have a couple of items that add points;
    Ring of Danger Sense 25% Detect Traps
    The Nights Gift 20% Hide in Shadows

    The Record screen Detect Traps shows as 125%, the adjusted amount.
    The Level up screen shows 100%, the base amount.
    After you level up the adjusted amount will once more be seen on the Record screen.

    From what I can see, you don't have an issue.

    Oh! OK. I apologize. I haven't played the game enough to fully understand how the numbers all play off of one another.
