Detailed description
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
This player completed 3 sets of science for 48 points using Babylon B. However the game text updates say that the wrong science symbol is provided. Screenshot here: imgur.com/gallery/jRv0oXd
The player has 3 tablets, 2 gear, 3 compass, and one wild symbol. The wild symbol should be a Mechanism (gear) so that he has 9+9+9+21 = 48 points. This is what he actually received ingame and is the max. Instead, the display says that he received Writing (tablet) which would only be 16 + 4 + 9 + 14 = 43 points. Again, the listed points he received was 48, this is a display bug only.• Please explain what you wanted to do, what you did and what happened

Report history
The log says the player got a Writing symbol, but she actually got a Mechanism, which is the best symbol: 4 (2 Writing) + 4 (1 + 1 Mechanism) + 9 (3 Geometry) + 14 (2 sets) = 31 points
The log said I got a Mechanism even though I actually got a Writing, which was the best symbol as it completed another set.
It seems like calculations are good, but description of the chosen symbol is wrong : mechanism instead of writing in both case.
Table ID: 127078962

I had 4 "cog" symbols (aka engineering), translated as "Mechanism" per translation notes. My wonder gave me one more. The scoring worked properly (i.e. gave another cog), but the chat display stated that I received an "extra symbol: Writing".
In the Translations page (English - English):
Compass - Geometry
Cog - Mechanism
Tablet - Writing

The log says I got 2 Mechanism symbols, but they were actually Writing: i.postimg.cc/Pf1p3292/7-Wonders-146321714-Science-calculation.png
Log says wildcard provides a Mechanism, but points are calculated by using an additional Writing, which is totally correct.
The log entry is wrong.
With the guild, says I received extra mechanism but it calculated based on extra writing. Functionally, points-wise, it works the way it should, just displays the wrong symbol.
To reiterate the issue :
- it happens with any Wild Science Symbol (Babylon or Guild),
- the symbol announced at the end is wrong,
- the computation is correct (as far as I could see).
The points for two players indicate that the extra scientific symbol for the Babylon wonder and Scientists Guild were correctly appiled as the tablet, but the log says Mechanism.
The math is correct (2 cogs=4pts, 3cogs = 9pts, for a 5 point difference) and the stated symbol is correct (unlike others above), but the prioritization is wrong. While you can only get 4 symbols on cards alone, the guild can provide a fifth symbol (from what I can tell researching online), and the Guild should have become a navigational sextant for a 9 point difference (4 sextants = 16pts, 5 sextants = 25pts).
Sadly, in this case it determined the winner, but at least it was with some good friends so we just had a laugh about it! But unfortunate that the logic error is substantial enough to change the outcome of the game.
Also it's harder to look back and double check the game score because of this other bug where the score breakdown isn't visible in "final situation": boardgamearena.com/bug?id=51622

I had 4 of the same science symbols (tablet) + the wonder stage of Babylon which gives me one of the three science symbols.
At the end of the game it gave me a gear. I was not happy with this.
Yet if you count the points, they were incorrect for an added gear but accurate for an added tablet.
So. It's a bug but, at leat in this case, points were correct nonetheless.
неправильно посчитали науку. по итогам получилось у игрока malthor01 55 очков, а у игрока novichek1 26 очков. хотя должно быть 57 и 22 соответственно.
в первом случае: 3x3x4+7+7+7=57
во втором: 2x2x2+7+7=22

снова та же проблема 3x3x4+7+7+7=57, а в итоге пишет 55

Replay 7 Wonders #298950151
The point was calculated correctly (Wild symbol is Mechanism), so:
16 (4 Writing) + 4 (1 Mechanism + 1 Wild) + 4 (2 Geometry) + 7 + 7 (2 sets) = 38 points
However, the log displayed that the Wild (Extra scientific symbol) as Writing.
Kindly fix this bug as soon as possible. Thanks.
the problem appears EVERY TIME babylon B and/or science guild is used, so it is not hard to recreate at all.
it definitely only affects the written display, the calculations are always correct.
it seems like the text will always prompt the WORST option but correctly use the best for calculation.
it seems like there is no attempt at all to fix this, since the status the devs could not understand the error is absurd :(
Since the developers don't seem to have time to fix the bug - is it somehow possible to help there? I am quite sure this is something minor, because the calculation is correct and so the correct symbol is known... I would be happy to fix this bug.
