Support Specialist Lvl 5 Skills Swap Bug

I did not see this bug listed, so I'm making this thread. Hope others have noticed so they can back me up on it.

CATEGORY: Code...I think?

REPRODUCIBILITY: Always

BUG SUMMARY: Switching from Support Specialist's "Ammo" perk skill to the "Supplier" perk skill does not lower the Support Specialist's ammo count in the trader menu.

DESCRIPTION

Okay, let's say our support specialist begins the game with the "Ammo" perk skill equipped. Later on, more players join, so he wants to swap to "Supplier" to help them out. The wave ends, and the support specialist switches the skills. When he gets to the menu, he is still able to purchase the amount of ammo that he would have if he had the "Ammo" skill equipped, but does not actually have it.

The worst part about this bug is, if you autofill your ammo, leave the trader, then access the trader menu again, your guns will be shown as each missing a full magazine, with the option to pay again to refill them. This can be repeated over and over, since the trader menu and the player's ammo count are no longer the same.

Reproducing:

1. Join a game as a Support specialist with the "Ammo" skill equipped
2. Check your starting pump shotgun ammo's maximum capacity. It should be 56.
3. Finish Wave 1, then switch over to the "Supplier" skill
4. Check the shotgun's ammo capacity at the trader. Even though you have reduced your ammo capacity to 48, the trader still reads it as 56, and allows you to purchase that much, thus wasting your dosh.

Would like a reply if this bug has been confirmed / fixed. Thanks.
